In a 2018 interview, she discussed how: "... in the USA ..Many jewelry businesses hired me as a model and representative. Which prompted me to inquire about the jewelry's origins, techniques, and the influence that mining can have on local populations.. The answers I got pushed me to get involved in this sector."[6]

Through her companies, Camara also invests in sustainable housing and agricultural development.[8] She belongs to International Women in Mining, a global advocacy group for women working in the mining industry.[9] She also founded Women in Mining Guinea in 2013.[7] She has spoken on her career at the Africa Mining Summit and at the New York City Forum for Africa.[9]
