Camilla James

 Camilla James was born and raised in Newark, NJ, and relocated to Philadelphia, PA, in 2014. Inspired by her own life experiences as a survivor of sexual abuse and domestic violence, she became a voice for the silent. She was driven to reduce the cycle of brokenness affecting so many. Recognizing her ability to make a broader impact, she created Its Mine Movement (IMM) in 2019 to provide vital services and support to families affected by trauma.

Through IMM, Camilla expanded her reach, teaching and empowering the BIPOC community to recognize and protect themselves from abuse and trauma while also encouraging them to celebrate their survival. As an activist, she dedicates much of her time to serving the community as an individual and in collaboration with other organizations by advocating for those without a voice and creating safe spaces for those needing healing and relief.

In addition to her work with IMM, Camilla is a Human Services student, enhancing her knowledge and skills to support trauma survivors and underserved communities further. Her future goals include growing IMM into a nationally recognized resource for trauma recovery and continuing to develop programs that offer comprehensive mental health care, life skills training, and support systems for vulnerable populations. Camilla remains committed to ensuring that IMM is an organization known for results, compassion, healing, and mental freedom.
