On the road to making a living as a creative, the term “value” comes up over and over. And today, I wanted to start doing something I haven’t done in a while:
Instead of writing and hoping that I am adding value, I’d love to ask you what you’d like me to write/create for you.
This doesn’t mean that you’ll now dictate what I make. No. I just want to be able to address any specific pieces of content that when you opened this email, you’d wished to find and I haven’t been able to give to you…yet.
So, please, reply to this email with your feelings around my content, something you’re struggling with that you think I know a little about, or something that you need to be solved that you feel I am equipped to handle.
“Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach.”― Aristotle
If this is the first email you’re reading from me, I am so happy you opened this. My name is Kamga and I am writer first, and a multi-hyphenate ( a fancy term to mean I do a lot of things and have a hard time choosing which to focus on, which is great on some days but terrible on most).
I’m still on my journey to live fully with my art and for the past two years, I have been struggling to adapt to life as a Cameroonian immigrant in the US and still create. It has not been easy, but if I could do it all over again… I will probably change a few things.
Like not underestimate the psychological toll of being in a new country, for example.
I write on Medium, I make videos on YouTube, and I also have a podcast.
If you want to check out some of my recent work, here are three links to start with:
Of course, if you already know what I do, just reply with something that you’d like me to do for you. Even if you want me to write a book. Yeap.
Just give me as much detail about what you want, maybe why you want it and the specific difficulty that’s on your table that you believe and I can address. Let me also know what type of content you enjoy from me, what really matters to you. There are no limits. Shoot for it!
I really want to make content that adds value to you.
Do I think I know a lot? Not really. But I believe that if someone knows even 10% more, they can teach that 10% to someone who knows 10% less.
I’d like to give you my 10%.
“You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself.”

What do you say, friend? Hit reply, let’s chat.
P.S: I turn 30 in a few days. I don’t yet know how to feel about that. lol.
