Camille Edwards’ Sister Squad


Camille Edwards is a former media executive who has lived in big cities across the country. While she was extremely busy running large newsrooms, she always made time for her group of friends who she’s known for decades.

Who’s in Your Squad?

Do you have a squad? Or do you call them your crew?

“There are six women in my ‘Diva’ squad,” says Camille Edwards. These ladies are extremely successful in various businesses. They are high-powered women who have been tested and challenged on every level, both professionally and personally. 

“It is extremely important to have friends in your life who can keep you grounded,” says Edwards, “and (who) give you sound advice that you might not be able to get from loved ones. My Diva girlfriends are a safe haven for me to share all things good and bad in my life.”

Edwards strongly suggests working hard to secure and maintain those authentic relationships. “It certainly is difficult to round up a group of women who are busy as heck,” she says. “But when we do get together, physically or virtually, it is so worth it.”

Camille Edwards, Self-reflection During the Pandemic


It’s been several weeks of stay-at-home orders and socially distancing.
And Camille Edwards wants to know, what have you done during this time to self-reflect?


Self-reflection in the New Normal
What new skill have you learned? What new friend did you make? Did you work hard enough to improve your job or business?
I’m sure you used to dream about a time when you would actually have the time to do something you always wanted to do or learn. Have you used your time to check off some of those things? Or did you spend mindless hours in front of the television?

Like many of you, Camille Edwards at first didn’t know what to do with all the time she now had on her hands.
But after the first couple of weeks, she figured it out. She became disciplined in her approach to tackling her days at home. She made daily “to-do lists” so that she felt like she was accomplishing things. Those checked off items really helped her morale when things got mentally tough.
As more states ease their restrictions, how will you take the things you learned during this time to be better?
