I was literally smiling because you literally did something we others wouldn't do! Like we all want in, but don't want to work for it and you literally did the impossible
You are honestly the best. Ive followed you since the beginning before you even had your own page and were just a guest in Andrea Lewis's video about curly hair. Im so invigorated by your spirit going back and watching this now in 2014 really shows me why you've been so successful, you set a goal and went for it no holds bar, with so much authenticity ...truly shameless. I aspire to bring those attributes out of myself n I wanna say thank you man ...cause on days like this when Im feeling lost and and questioning what it is that Im striving for again ...energy like this is what reminds me what its all about. Maya your the best and hopefully next time you make a stop in Toronto I can actually meet you in person and walk away with some physical inspiration! until then girl, xox keep shining.
Oh freakin' Maya. If I hadn't already fallen in love with you before.. (watching the shaved head video, the NYE outfit, and techie tuesdays) surfing through to find this video has truly made me fall in love with all you stand for. You're so inspirational.
WHEN SHE SAID "I'm Jeannie Mai" I DIIIIIIED. She lost a lot of weight and her tan is gone! I thought she was black or indian or something with a good ass weave but no, that's Jeannie and she came to slay.
It was so raw and real that you didn't know who some of those people were. Fashion isn't about status its about individuality. Hence how they were so inspired by you.
I am rediscovering your channel. I just began my career in healthcare and I am starting to feel antsy. I don't know how to describe the feeling. I am a writer. I love to make people feel good and cared for. I think the first time I saw your channel I was too young. I'm 26 now and I feel like I shouldn't be wasting my time. I still love what I do but I should pursue more of the things that bring me and other people joy. Just want to say thanks. I look forward to one day meeting you and sharing your positive energy and light. Very inspiring.
thanks lovely! you absolutely do have to take risks. i'm actually needing to do more of this stuff...well a couple more months till the next fashion week but i suppose i could prance around the streets of NYC as a diva again. NY ain't going no where...come anytime :)
i know i'm so lame! i don't watch tv. everyone here but me knew who she was...ah well. BUT i do love her! she and Sofi from Sweden were the nicest, fun loving ladies i interviewed :)
seriously thank you. watching your videos(i started about a month ago) has allowed me to not be intimidated by conforming to YT norms for videos. I.e only doing make up and fashion. I have def come out of my comfort zone and I swear this video is def a greater inspiration. Your obviously beautiful on the outside but your inside shines the brightest. I wish you amazing success hunny. I can't wait to see your name in lights
i was using Tarte in "warm walnut" but they discontinued my shade :( i'm so sad!!!! i think L'Oreal might be another great foundation but I'm gonna see if Tarte has another similar shade
this is why I love ur channel so much. your spirit is so beautiful.... your videos informative. 😍😍😍😍. p.s. i grew up in the projects right behind Lincoln center!!!.
OMGGGGGGG LOVE THIS!!!!.......I subscribe to your channel because it gives ME LIFE HONEYYYYY OMG THAT OUTFIT THAT HAIR THOSE SHOESSSS AND THE BALLOONS....oh darling LIFEEEEEE!.....and another thing you can tell your grandkids is you LIVED LIFE....I so admire you even more now!....Now I wanna go do something SHAMELESS but in a Fierce Way!
I am gonna hold your youtube hand until I can get it right! Every single one of your videos are healing somebody's fears and phobias slowly but surely. It would be soo great to see other people whom you've impacted sharing their shamelessness because of what you you've done for us. I'm leaning very hard in that direction and getting more and more excited about doing so!
I've seen this twice before and I just popped in a third time to watch for a few minutes. I ended up watching the whole thing, you're just so captivating Maya! I love it!!!
i'll make a video but it's because i don't work out. i really feel like my life is a workout. i'm always carrying something something double my weight, running around, i live on a hill, i don't have a car so we carry our groceries for miles...i'll make one though at some point...probably in the new year though
i love that you admit that this terrified you. I have those kind of moments all the time, where the idea is so great in my head but when showtime comes i'm sick to my stomach! in the end it's always worth it.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!! I've been following you on IG but didn't understand the gist of your social stardom. Can I say I am in love with all this confidence you are exuding?! You are def making the world a better place! I wish you success in all your endeavors.
she totally did! and nobody noticed except you! i was gonna put a note when she said it but it was so fast i didn't want to call her out...but yes! she called me a crack head!
Shameless Maya, I was just the same way from the time I was a young girl. Effortless confidence has allowed me to break barriers and excel just as you are doing through her videos. Thanks for reminding me about my own fierceness. It's been a while. Stay tricking!
I came for the tech stuff (camera, lighting, etc); but, stayed for your personality. I love your entire Fashion Week look. The balloon and short hair was perfect.
I LOVED THIS VIDEO SO MUCH!!!! I swear that you really have to take major risks in order to be noticed especially when marketing your business and making a name for yourself. You can easily get lost among so many and it's very hard to stand out. I swear I love me some NY, right now I stay in Michigan and I'm about to go crazy here because I feel we need more going on.
Maya, this video made my day. It touched me to see the city in the morning I'm inspired! Thanks for reminding me why I'm working so hard to get to a place like that. xoxo
SHAMELESS! MAYA! THIS IS SO FREAKING FANTASTIC!!! I love you and miss you like a fat kid misses gooey chocolate cake at fat camp! This piece was so you and so fantastic and I just don't understand how any television producers who come across this would not scoop you up!? YOU ARE A DIVA, A INSPIRATION, A WORLD CLASS GEM! Loves ya!
I know I'm a little late watching this but I seriously smiled the whole time. Maya, you are living life, girl! You make me want to just go out and find adventure!
Il faut savoir oser dans la vie ! C'est une façon ingénieuse, créative et sympathique d'attirer l'attention et d'interviewer les gens ! Bravo !! c'est fort, très fort !! Big kiss from Paris (France)
this has to be one of the most inspiring and "hands on" way of showing how to go out there and make your dreams a reality.
I love watching throwback Maya! This (playlist) is where I come to be RE-inspired to be GREAT, wild, ME ,and ....SHAMEless.
I was literally smiling because you literally did something we others wouldn't do! Like we all want in, but don't want to work for it and you literally did the impossible
thank you so much love! i really appreciate you and everyone else's support
The positive energy vibrating form this video is unreal! you are so brave and inspirational! love love love it!
So true. My vibration is always super high when I watch her

AH!!! Okay :) I did exfoliate with this new sponge before I filmed this. Skin vid coming soon
i read all your comments so thank you everyone! you have no idea how much your positive feedback helps to push me to do more. so THANK YOU!!!!
hahaha! well compared to her i did look outlandish but i'm cool with that :) thanks for watching!!!
Same here girl! it's one thing around friends and family. it's another with random strangers
thank u for commenting! i really appreciate everyone's comments but can't respond to everyone's but really i appreciate you all!
It was so raw and real that you didn't know who some of those people were. Fashion isn't about status its about individuality. Hence how they were so inspired by you.
OMG i love your confidence. Im learning how to be shameless. you've inspired me to not hold back anymore
i ended up transforming into this alter ego 1 year later!!! vid coming soon!
thank you, thank you, thank you! that means a lot! i edit all my videos and put a lot of time and energy into them so thank you!
yay!!! i'm always happy to hear such positive feedback. thanks!
