Special Guests
Kamryn Johnson and Saniya-Symone Scott are native Houstonian actresses, models, speakers, and writers with a passion for empowering other children to be courageous and intentional about following their dreams. Naturally, residing in the 4th Largest City in the United States, has given them even larger dreams. These girls are straight ‘A’ students and extremely talented individually. Nicknamed “Kam and Niya,” these ladies aspire to build their business endeavors to achieve the unimaginable rankings of female business moguls such as Oprah, Beyonce, and countless others. Individually they are outstanding, but together they are an unstoppable force of creativity, positivity, and fun energy. Kam & Niya exude confidence, faith, and class in all that they do. Recently, the dynamic duo hosted a series of Black “HERstory” Segments for the Emmy-nominated daytime show, The Real. One of Kam & Niya’s favorite quotes was spoken by Lupita Nyong'o who stated, "No matter where you're from, your dreams are valid.” They believe this to be true - whole heartedly.
