Today we’d like to introduce you to Salomé Camargo.
Salomé , we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I started in music at 9 years old. Over time I became a finalist on Factor XS, and from there my path opened up into acting and, eventually, into television as a host in Colombia. I have been in media for more than 15 years. A few years ago I moved to Miami, and that change of city ended up being a change of life too.
In recent years I have gone through a deep process of personal transformation. It was not something I decided to share overnight. I worked on myself first, with professional support, because it mattered to me to build from a stable place, not from crisis. When I felt I had my feet a little more on the ground and could speak from a better place, without having it all figured out, I started showing that process to my community, to the more than one million people who follow me on Instagram.
That is how ConstruyéndoME was born, a space where I share in real time what I am living through: faith, mental health, body, marriage, purpose. I don’t speak from theory or from “I already made it.” I speak from “I am still learning,” because that is the truth, and because I believe that is what we need to see more, women showing real processes instead of perfect versions.
Today I keep singing, I keep looking for opportunities in television, which is where I have the most history, but I am also building something bigger: a personal brand that is not only about my artistic career, but about accompanying other women through their own processes of identity, purpose, and transformation. All of this rests on three pillars that are, for me, non negotiable: faith, purpose, and transformation.
I don’t have it all figured out. But I have learned that you don’t need to have it all figured out to be able to walk alongside other people in their own journey. My dream is for ConstruyéndoME, and everything that comes after it, to become a space of reference for thousands of Hispanic women who are, like me, rebuilding from honesty instead of perfection.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
No, it hasn’t been a smooth road. When I moved to Miami, I arrived in a city and a country where nobody knew me. I came in with an idea of how the industry worked, of how easy it could be to get into certain spaces, and the reality was very different. I had to start from zero, knock on doors, hear a lot of no’s, and understand that nothing was given to me. I have also worked with teams that seemed like the right partners at the time and didn’t work out, and I’ve gone through legal situations and pretty uncomfortable moments that are part of this industry, even though nobody talks about them.
But the biggest challenge wasn’t only professional. At the same time, I went through a very difficult stage mentally and physically. I held myself to a very strong standard when it came to my body, to how I looked, and I kept up an image on the outside, even on social media, that everything was fine, when inside it wasn’t. There were moments when I doubted if this was the right path, if it was worth continuing. At some point I understood I needed to pause and prioritize myself, and that meant asking for professional help and learning to build from a more honest place, not from self-demand or from a perfect image.
Today I can talk about all of this because I already went through it from a more stable place. But it wasn’t, and isn’t, a straight line.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m a singer, TV host, and content creator with more than 15 years of experience. I started in music very young, singing in my school choir and competing in local contests in my city, and later became a finalist on Factor X, which opened the door to national television, both as a host and as an actress, and to performing in cities across my country.
What I specialize in today is using my voice, both through music and through speaking, to connect with people on a real, human level. I’m known for ConstruyéndoME, the community I created where I share my own process of transformation in real time: faith, mental health, body image, marriage, purpose. It’s not polished content or a highlight reel. It’s process, not perfection, and I think that’s exactly what sets me apart. A lot of people in media show the after. I show the during, with more than 300 women in the community sharing that process alongside me.
What I’m most proud of isn’t a specific show or song. It’s having built something honest enough that women feel less alone when they see it. For most of my career, I followed a path shaped by the people and teams around me, without really stopping to ask what I wanted to say or who I wanted to be for the people watching. Getting to the place where I could finally answer that question for myself, and use it to support other women instead of just building a personal brand, is what I’m proudest of.
I’m not a professional in every topic I touch on, mental health, physical health, spirituality, so my role isn’t to have all the answers. It’s to be a bridge: someone who connects women with the right resources and, over time, brings in professionals to go deeper into specific topics. What sets me apart is that I lead with my own story first, not with expertise I don’t have.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
Honestly, I don’t really believe in luck. I believe in God, and in his timing. When I look back at moments that could be called “lucky,” like getting the platform I got through Factor X, or ending up in Miami, I don’t see them as chance. I see them as doors that God opened at the right time, doors I had already been preparing for without even knowing it.
I’ve also had my share of what could look like bad luck: teams that didn’t work out, opportunities that fell through, timing that felt completely wrong in the moment. But even those moments taught me something I needed to learn. I’ve come to trust that what feels like a closed door or a setback is sometimes God redirecting me toward something better, even when I can’t see it yet.
So if I had to answer honestly, luck isn’t really the word I’d use. I’d say I believe in showing up prepared, staying open, and trusting God’s plan, even in the moments I don’t understand what’s happening.
