Meet the Founder
Camille Briggs is a freelance writer, author, and founder of Speak Life: Inspiring the Next Generation, LLC, a motivational self-empowerment company dedicated to equipping individuals with the tools they need to find their purpose and live abundant lives. Based in Southeast Texas, Camille is an award-winning television journalist with over 20 years of experience in media and public relations.
A Jamaican immigrant, Camille and her sisters moved to the United States with their parents in 1993, seeking a better life. Her father once shared that the plan was to earn $1 million and return to Jamaica, but God had different plans. At the age of 8, Camille accepted Christ and made the life-changing decision to surrender her future to Him. From that moment, she knew her life’s purpose was to align with God’s will.
In 2023, at what she thought was the peak of her career, Camille faced an unexpected tragedy. Her sister passed away from complications related to breast cancer, and during the funeral arrangements, Camille received the life-altering news that she too had been diagnosed with breast cancer. At 46 years old, she faced the possibility of losing her life but emerged stronger after two surgeries and 21 rounds of radiation. This journey renewed her mission to help others find their purpose and live joyfully.
As a wife, mother, and community advocate, Camille is passionate about helping people break free from toxic relationships, unhealthy environments, and unfulfilled lives. Through Speak Life, she offers workshops, networking opportunities, and 1:1 coaching to help individuals hone their skills and become their best selves. Camille’s mission is to inspire others to live with confidence, joy, and purpose, and to help them build lives full of hope and impact. Outside of her work, Camille enjoys traveling and dedicates her time to working with youth in her community, helping to shape the next generation.
