Graduating during a pandemic

Cami was super disappointed that she couldn’t attend a physical graduation and was even more disheartened about the pandemic hampering her plans to move to New York to take on the world of acting, The Cut wrote. The businesswoman notes that pole dancing helped with her mental health during a time when she was severely depressed.

“The pole was the one thing I could look forward to, even if everything else was going bad or felt bleak. I could at least go to the pole every day for a couple of hours and learn a new trick, and it would give me the boost of serotonin I needed to continue my day,” she said.

After her 2020 graduation ceremony was held online on Zoom, the young lady decided to have her own little celebration and pole danced in her grad gown and cap, with the Instagram video going viral on social media.

Cami later started her business, which she notes was aimed at helping women reclaim their bodies through movement, with the entrepreneur even teaching renowned artist SZA how to pole dance, The Cut wrote.

“It was so synchronous because there was one scene that we choreographed where she was pole dancing in a library holding a book and that’s exactly how I felt my last semester at Yale University, just studying and pole dancing all of the time. I was like, ‘I’ve never related to anything more,’” she said.

But the talented dancer wasn’t always super confident about her craft, with others criticising her online dancing.

But the young woman has since said that she has decided to stop gatekeeping herself and is confident with her business and the way it empowers other women.
