The world is your stage. Make your mark.

Nothing is ever quick. You have to grow an audience, keep them engaged, give them a reason to keep coming back so it will never be an overnight success. Have patience!

I come from a great home and fully supportive family that helped to nurture my dreams. A lot of people don't have those same things in their household.

I make sure I eat before I go anywhere just in case they don't have a vegan-friendly option.
Karen Civil -
I tell people to use me as example of what they can do if they don't give up. I like people to see me as a 'girl next door' who conquered and went after what she wanted.
Karen Civil -
I wanted to focus on creating a solid foundation, creating my blueprint, and understanding who I was. You can get distracted easily, and people take you off course with just a compliment. I wanted the focus to be on Karen Civil the businessperson, not what I wore, not what I looked like.

She has a lot of Team Minaj soldiers, and they ride for her. She's genuinely about her fans; she just makes sure that she answers questions, and plays around with them.

I was born to Haitian parents, and the idea of giving back is really just a part of our culture. So, I don't think there was ever a moment that I questioned my call to philanthropy, but I can say that the more I've grown, the bigger that call has become.

I am big on not pushing anything that I wouldn't do or use. I understand my brand, vision, and the story I want to tell. I am not into taking short-cuts like tummy teas or waist trainers. I want my brand to be a lifestyle and very premium but, at the same time, relatable.

Me myself, I wanna wear sweats with my Jordans one day or a dress with my Jeffrey Campbell.

I give people on my team the opportunity to excel as well, and I think that's what continues to keep me ahead. I may not be able to show or do an interview; I give them the opportunity to run the show, and that has been working.
Karen Civil -
Everything is a learning lesson, good and bad, so I am happy with the way things are, and I learned from everything negative. I am in a great space now, so I wouldn't change a thing!

Growing up in America, even in the rougher parts of Elizabeth, I had two nice playgrounds to choose from as a child.

With Drake, I was a big fan of 'Degrassi.'

When I was in eighth grade, I created a Backstreet Boys fan site. I came in third place in a fan site contest and got to meet them.

Unfortunately, Haiti does not have many safe environments for children to play and express themselves.
Karen Civil -
I love my religion, I love everything about it, but at the same time, I love my career, and I want to do it with the same love and compassion.
Karen Civil -
Coming from a Haitian-American home, I thought it was necessary to give back to the country in which my parents were raised. That is why I believe in Project PlayWorld's efforts to to provide secure playing spaces for the children of Haiti with the Live Civil Playground.
