When life handed Kamille Richardson a series of closed doors, she didn’t just find another way in—she built her own entrance. Born completely blind, Kamille faced countless rejections early in her career, with potential employers’ enthusiasm noticeably cooling the moment they spotted her white cane. Rather than let these setbacks define her path, she transformed her challenge into an opportunity that would reshape corporate America’s approach to inclusion.

Together with her sister Lakila Bowden, Kamille founded iSee Technologies, a company that has evolved from its origins in corporate training to become a comprehensive force for workplace transformation. “I turned all the no’s that I was getting into a yes to myself,” Kamille reflects. “I decided that instead of harping on the problem, I would come in and be the solution.”

That solution has proven to be revolutionary. iSee Technologies works with organizations to address both conscious and unconscious biases in a judgment-free environment, helping companies unlock the potential of a truly diverse workforce. The company’s approach goes beyond traditional diversity training, offering a unique perspective shaped by Kamille’s’ lived experience and Lakila’s extensive corporate background.

The sisters’ complementary expertise has been crucial to their success. Lakila, who left a successful corporate career to join the venture in 2019, brings valuable insights from her years in the corporate world. Together, they’ve created a company that leverages their combined experiences to craft solutions that resonate with both employees and leadership teams.

Innovation is at the heart of iSee Technologies’ approach to inclusion. Kamille herself is an early adopter of assistive technology, recently incorporating Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses into her daily routine. This commitment to staying ahead of technological advances helps inform their work in creating more accessible and inclusive workplaces.

The company’s impact extends beyond traditional corporate training, with Kamille and Lakila being sought-after speakers. Their approach combines serious subject matter with engaging delivery, making potentially uncomfortable topics accessible and actionable.

What sets iSee Technologies apart is their holistic approach to workplace wellness and inclusion. “If you don’t feel like you belong in a place, it’s hard to feel like the best version of yourself,” Lakila explains. Their training programs now encompass stress management, anxiety reduction, and leadership development, addressing the full spectrum of workplace well-being.

The company’s growth has been organic and purposeful, built primarily through referrals and word-of-mouth. Now, as they expand their reach, they’re adding public relations strategies to amplify their message while maintaining their commitment to authentic impact. “We’re not trying to be booked and busy,” Lakila emphasizes. “We want to be working in alignment and flow.”

Perhaps most inspiring is Kamille’s commitment to creating opportunities for others facing similar barriers. With the blind community facing a staggering 70% unemployment rate, iSee Technologies actively employs blind trainers, making a tangible impact on representation in the workforce.

From their roots in Fayetteville, North Carolina, these sisters have built more than a company—they’ve created a movement. Without a blueprint or family precedent for their entrepreneurial journey, they’ve charted their own course, proving that determination, authenticity, and a commitment to positive change can transform personal challenges into professional triumphs.

As iSee Technologies continues to expand its influence, moving into new sectors including renewable energy staffing, Kamille and Lakila remain focused on their core mission: creating workplaces where everyone can bring their whole selves to the table. Their story stands as a powerful testament to the possibility of turning rejection into revolution, one organization at a time.
