asks more of us
It’s a month
rooted in reflection, remembrance, and recognition—but it’s also an opportunity to examine how power shows up now. Who holds it. Who reshapes it. And how presence, intention, and style become tools for influence rather than adornment.
This month, as we explore Power, Presence & Style, I wanted to spotlight a woman who embodies all three—not performatively, but purposefully. Someone whose leadership isn’t loud for the sake of being heard, yet impossible to ignore. Someone who understands that real power isn’t just about access—it’s about what you do once you’re in the room.
That woman is Dr. Anjali Camara.
Anjali is an executive, entrepreneur, and connector in the truest sense of the word. She doesn’t simply move through spaces—she builds them. Through The Private Plug ™, an invitation-only forum for women across industries, she has
created rooms defined not by hierarchy, but by trust, intention, and authenticity. The Private Plug ™ isn’t about transactional
networking; it’s about meaningful exchange—ideas, strategies, lived experiences—that extend far beyond the table itself.
What resonates most with me about Anjali’s work is her understanding that presence is power. That community is not accidental. And that legacy isn’t something we leave behind—it’s something we actively construct, moment by moment.
Her commitment to impact is also deeply personal. Through The Private Plug Foundation™, Anjali invests in young women, ensuring that leadership, connection, and confidence are not privileges, but possibilities. Through KUNI™, her premium apparel line, she honors family legacy and HBCU roots, reminding us that style can be a declaration of identity, history, and pride. And through the John Wesley Johnson Legacy Fund, created in memory of her father, she transforms remembrance into opportunity—supporting scholarships and cultural initiatives that will shape generations to come.
In a time when leadership is often measured by visibility alone, Anjali’s work reminds us that influence doesn’t have to be loud. It can invite. It can gather. It can listen. And it can build something lasting.
As you read this conversation, I invite you to consider what power looks like when it’s grounded in purpose. It’s a reflection on how women are redefining leadership—on their own terms.
And that, to me, is Black history in the making.
