Camille Maddox credits her experience as a Step Up high school intern for helping her build the foundational confidence she needed to climb the corporate ladder to a senior director position before her 30th birthday. “Being one of very few people of color in upper-level corporate spaces is difficult. I don’t know that I would be where I am today if my Step Up mentors hadn’t taught me not to doubt whether I should be there. I don’t feel the necessity to prove why I’m there; I know I deserve to be.”
