    "What would happen if I shamelessly promoted myself for 365 days?" My channel started out as a social media experiment, and now it's a lifestyle. I hope my journey from shame to shameless inspires you and others not to be ashamed of who you are and to share and celebrate that shamelessly. Here on my channel, you'll find videos on lifestyle, inspiration, fun transformations, techie vids for aspiring geeks, beauty, fashion, and so much more.

    This is so nuts. I've been watching your videos since I was a teenager. I'm now heading into my 30's in a lil bit. It's only now that I truly understand what you mean when you say be shameless. I have a better understanding of it now, at least, in a way that differs from my teenage & young adult understanding of it

    I love when people talk about their relationship with God, so thank you for speaking up. I'm in a new lifelong season of accepting Christ as my Savior, and I just finished the Bible today for the first time. I just want to know God and His character, and to also be led by Him because I have spent almost 40 years not knowing who He was and doing everything myself or listening to everyone but Him. It's a new leg of the journey, and I couldn't be happier, even with the uncertainty around me. It's finally time to understand faith and lean on Him to strengthen me in it. Peace to you in your continued journey. Don't feel too much pressure to come back to RUclips consistently. Let yourself be led. 💖

    I wonder if your seclusion and isolation was an intentional plan of God to help you get to know Him on a deeper level. That happened to me back in 2016/2017, and my life has never been the same.

It's crazy how time flies by and I'm trying my best to enjoy the present moment of be grateful no matter the ups and downs because the joy of the Lord is my strength. I would be happy to meet you in sweden one day 😊 du pratar bra svenska.

I’m a little further ahead in the age group than you but I’m still learning so much everyday from him and his brothers. It’s a lot of watch and wait. It’s hands down my favorite thing I’ve been called to do. I’m quite literally obsessed with my children. Looking forward to your book and videos Maya! God bless you, Max and Saga!

    I love how you always keep it so real. Every single time. I am currently fasting all social media (besides YT) because, like you said, socials are super distracting and I feel like all the noise is blocking me from hearing God more clearly. Im in a very vulnerable season of my life, a "chrysalis" phase where I am deeply reconnecting with God and myself. I have no idea what is to come and I'm rediscovering me. I'm ok with the unknown, though, cause I surrendered my life to God. Every thing you said resonated deeply. Thank you

    Maya! I’ve been with you on your entire journey. At first when you spoke about being gone, I thought you were talking about trip. You have taught me so much over the years and I’m about to turn 40. I see you as an inspiration. Black lady, with a little dog living life unapologetically. I love every moment of it. I thought I’d drop off once the baby came, but I didn’t. I needed to see those struggles too. I don’t have kids, but I need to see you parenting in order to see you being authentic. Motherhood is definitely not all about cute baby clothes and smiles.
    Shameless is how I lived. I bought your recommendations, hair tips and attempted to improve my social media through every video you made. I look forward to your books and reaching back to the Shameless days. God gave you skills and those skills are a gift!

To be so vulnerable (as a mother, partner, artist, human) is a whole new level of shameless! Rooting for you. May the birds of the new season carry with them clarity and wisdom.

    Wow Maya, I have been rocking with you (and Jackie) a long time. From NYC self discovery and hair care videos (shout out to Vatika coconut oil), to LA Boss and creative Maya to life reflections in the Swedish countryside. It's been a pleasure.

    Good to see you Maya, and even better to HEAR you! I love where you are with your walk with the Lord. I am right there with you and could not be happier about it. I recently finished a 3 day Esther fast - just water and it was one of my toughest fasts to date. I too, was watching all kinds of cooking videos, however they just made me want to eat therefore I had to stop !😅
    Keep being shameless for the Lord and you'll be fine. See you on your next video!

    Similar season, I use to watch your channel when I was younger and it’s amazing to witness your growth. You’re living in your purpose honeybee.

    Can I just say 2...maybe 3 things lol.
    1. I've been watching you since 2012 because you had some videos that helped me get my curly hair journey going. Loved you back then and love you now!
    2. THIS video spoke to me. Im in my 30s and have a 1.5 year old son. The struggle just being a parent is real. Really real lol. And to parent with your partner in not only an isolated or small town but without any familiarity support, that is HARD.
    I moved from the Los Angeles area to a small town in Texas during the height of covid to live with my now husband. His family is in Texas. I first saw it as an adventure, a journey. But it soon got to be too much for me. ME, someone who has been adaptable. All to say, your story is so relatable and I appreciate you putting these experiences into words that some of us didn't know how to verbally express! ✌🏽💕

    Your growth, sincerity, transparency and to simply witness his knights hand upon you is pretty amazing Maya! As you know I have been following you for quite some time. I would absolutely love for us to connect in this chapter. Praying for his perfect will. Congrats on writing and this bomb editing.

    I’ve been watching your journey since the Shameless Maya days and it’s been so wonderful. I actually struggle with wanting to make slower longer video content and find these types of videos helpful to reflect. From your fellow 40’s sister in Christ - I’m in a new place too.

    I just want to say im turning 24 in a few months. I feel like I've been going through an identity crisis. I'm outgrowing things and people but im starting to realize that there is fulfillment and beauty in finding yourself without distraction or compromise. I've been watching since I was in high school and it's been so beautiful to see where you are now. Love to you, Maya!

    Oftentimes, I've felt bizarre because my life seemed so strange. Then I come back to your videos because for some reason God loved me so much, that I discovered your channel years ago, and now we are going through similar things. I see that my life is not so bizarre. Perhaps a small thing, but to me, it makes such a difference.
    Like you, I've also married and moved to Europe. Had to learn a new language at an older age. Had kids, a few months older than your one, ‘left’ Christianity cause dived into videos like Zeitgeist etc. God had mercy and I'm back. Now we are in the process of moving to the north in Sweden countryside. We've been in isolation for long as well. Going through motherhood in isolation, even in the beauty of nature, can be taxing. Add onto learning a new culture, language, having to learn how to do familiar things in a new country, craving consistency etc.
    I cannot tell you enough how grateful I am that you vlog and are so honest about life. Like someone else said in the comments, it's really important that 30s & 40- something's vlog because we need to see real helpful conversations. You are doing that. God is using you in His way.
    I’m a writer and I see that you are writing. I pray that your book is successful. I know it will be good because I've been watching you for years and the way you put your projects together is always organized, good quality and detailed. God designed you with those capabilities. And it's awesome to witness. Your life is a testimony, and I'm excited to see where God is taking you next and the lessons you learn along the way.
