I am not only proud of you because you are my daughter, but I am proud of you as a woman! You shared parts of your journey; challenges and victories, with such integrity and hope. Despite and in the midst of obstacles and pain, you soared! You acknowledged your truth today and shared your heart with a global audience. That is never easy, and never without challenge because to share your story, you expose the pain and disruption others also caused your life. But I celebrate you dear daughter because you Refuse to be “the victim”, despite what you have endured. I recognize your triumph today, because as your “Mommy”❤️, I have witnessed your growth, maturity and how you made yourself fit your “big girl panties“ 🤷🏿♀️ You are indeed a blessing to my life and to the world. And so I applaud your humility, Humanness, giftedness, womanhood, brilliance, sensitivity, strength and obedience. I appreciate you baby. You are a wonderful Mother, a loving daughter; a wonderful Person and the world awaits you. And BTW, I’m soooooo glad you brought that special little girl into this world; into My Life (Nana so loves that lil girl) ❤️
Awww thanks Mommy🙏🏾 I try to be as transparent as possible. Thanks ☺️❤️
Awww that was so beautiful. Nothing like a Mothers love. I miss mine soooooooo much!
Dr. Robin Moore-Chambers the way you have uplifted your daughter and celebrated her humanity is magnificent! The manner in which you have validated your grand daughter is the stuff that self assured, black queens are made of!
Maya thank you for your truth telling, your unabashed bravery and gallantry! I celebrate you sister; thank you for queening so publicly. You made the choice that you wanted, I love to see women exercise franchise in their own lives whatever form that takes! Sending perfect peace and joy to you Maya!
That was beautiful💖💓💕💜💙💛my precious Mother was my support thru all of my trials, she is now in Heaven.....but God knows I would not have made it without her?
Absolutely beautiful!❤️❤️❤️❤️ A wonderful example of a mother’s love and support. It makes me love my own mother even more! ❤️❤️❤️
I got pregnant in my sophomore year too! I was 19. Decided to have my baby and the dad was mad. I’m 21 now and couldnt be happier I had my little dude. I’m in a career field I never saw myself in but I’m happy. I’m happy you found your passion!!
God’s Plan is Real❣️
So real!! 🙌🏾
Amen.
Thank you for sharing your story, all of us have one and some come thru them with more gusto or some crumble in defeat. I SURVIVED mines, my daughter is now 24 and I am 47. I went to beauty college and earned my A.S. while driving school buses. That sustained us financially and now with my 17.5 year old son that just graduated this pandemic, I'm looking for my next idea. Thank you for sharing...
you are so wise beyond your years. I thought you were around my age based on your conversations. I will be 50 in May and I truly though you were in your forties..... girl you truly inspire me go on young sister you are a inspiration...HBCU Proud I went to CSU.
God is all ways on time Maya and you are a living testament of his glory and you are rejoicing in it keep on keeping on. You can sing for us I would love to hear you.
Always on time 🙏🏾 I do plan on singing for you guys one day 🙌🏾❤️
Thank you for sharing maya. After listening to your story I feel like I've known you a long time. Its good that you admit that you're not perfect you saw the signs God have given you and you accepted it. And your life turned out just fine. I wish you the best with your platform and for you to meet your Mr charming its something most of us wishes for.
Wow. Thank you so much sis! I really appreciate it 🙌🏾❤️ blessings to you 😘
This really got me in tears because I am 24 years old and I am going thru the same thing right now! I’m pregnant and everything that I had planned is just not going right and it’s rough. But this video just uplifted my spirits and I pray for better days! Thank you ! ❤️
What an awesome testimony! Thank you and God bless you for sharing because so many young women need to hear this. God's plan is best...always. I got pregnant my senior year in high school and had my son at 18, young and scared. And now, he's a successful grown man. I have surpassed my goals even beyond my wildest dreams and it is all to the glory of God. God will continue to bless you as you continue to be obedient to him.
I admire your strength and determination, I live in O’fallon, Illinois, not too far from St. Louis, so glad I found your channel 😘🧡
Hey neighbor! 👋🏾 and Thank you!! 🙏🏾 thanks for watching! ❤️
Thank you for sharing this story. Brought me to tears a few times but I’m feeling so inspired. May God continue to bless you and your family!
Absolutely! So glad my story can be an inspiration 🙌🏾 thank you, and blessings to you as well ☺️❤️
You’re story is amazing. I was a junior at Clark Atlanta University at the same time you were at Spelman College... goes to show that you never know who you may be walking by. Continue to be blessed queen 👑!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. As a single mother myself you motivated me on a whole different level. I love these style of video. It was like just sitting and chatting with your girls while doing so makeup. How amazing that both streets where blocked when you were trying to get that money order. Look at God!
Absolutely! I feel like I need to share in case someone else needs to hear it or needs conformation from God. Definitely prayed before making this video and God lead me to just do it! And yes, BOTH streets! Nothing but God 🙌🏾 thanks for watching babe! ☺️
Hey boo! Your story and your strength is such an inspiration and I’m so proud of your and your growth, keep slaying and being amazing ❤️❤️
You are truly an amazing beautiful blessing . A valuable virtuous woman Maya . So happy for you. Thank you so much for sharing your life experiences with us.We all have curtain issues about us that we don’t really talk about. For example : I’m not what you would consider by black society standards “Beautiful” Meaning . I don’t have all of thee attributes of a black women ( curves ) . I’m very slim. Smh 🤦🏾♀️ . It makes it hard for me to even get a second look. Not to say that I’m looking for approval to validate who I am. However, sometimes it just hurts . Because , I don’t have curtain “ qualities “ that men usually look for in a woman . So , I feel alone sometimes. If you ever get the chance. Listen to a song by tori Kelly “ Dear No one “ that will tell you how I feel. God bless you ✝️🙏🏽👑💋❤️
Hey Shannel! Thanks for watching babe! And girl.... I understand! 😫 I have struggled with similar issues! But those kind of insecurities are possible to grow past!!
Can you image that my whole life I never showed my forehead!? I was teased growing up and so insecure and thought it was sooooo big and ugly that I would wear bangs NO MATTER WHAT! I intentionally stopped that behavior, faked it til I made it, and now I feel SUPER comfortable with it (as you see my hair is pulled back in this video). I say that to say, we have to combat those insecurities that control us and our actions and take back control. You are not defined by what men or other people want you to be. Be you. God has something special for you. 🙌🏾 You got this my love 🙏🏾😌❤️
Maya Galore I’m Crying inside . Thank you so much for understanding . Love ❤️ . You are definitely under the shadows of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ✝️👑🙏🏽❤️ P.S your forehead Indicates a beautiful mind . ( intelligence )
Girl, thank goodness you started that UA-cam channel to share your beauty and your story with the world. You and your baby girl are gems in the clutter of Beauty Gurus that are lovely and wonderful. Keep doing what you love and spreading your message of positivity and love.

Your spirit and skill is so so beautiful and instructive! This video has spoken to me and confirmed a lot for me - I’m quite emotional and so thankful you chose to be transparent, trust God and push through with having your beautiful daughter! I definitely resonate with that understanding that God’s plans and ours may not align but his are always better than whatever we had in mind 😂❤️ Gloryyyy to him for how he’s kept you and sustained you and how he continues to grace you! I pray for continued strength and growth for you sis
It makes me so happy to see how your consistency over the last 2 years is paying off and your channel is exploding! May he equip you to continue shining his light and inspiring your audience as you continue to grow

Gurl you brought tears to my eyes happy of course ☺️ I'm so proud of you for being obedient to the Most High he's got a better plan for you 😘😘😘
Thanks for sharing your testimony ❤
I needed this! I needed the cry that I just had, the reminder of my why, and the motivation I just received. Thank you 😊
I am in nursing school and started to feel like everything was falling apart, you reminded me to count my blessings and to listen to the voice of God. May God continue to bless you and your journey. 💕
OMG! your story almost brought me to tears. It reminds me so much of my story. I had my son at 16 and with the help of my family, I was able to graduate HS, college, and eventually graduate school. You are an inspiration to every woman who has had to make the decision of whether or not to have a child. While it may not be for everyone, you've succeeded. You could tell you are in your element by just watching your videos, pls do not stop creating content. You are so genuine and authentic which transcends through your videos and its refreshing to see someone who is so comfortable with themselves as you are. Thank you so much for creating such great material, I look forward to continuing to watch you in the future.
Thank you for sharing your story my Spelman Sister! You are a beacon of strength and inspiration to many!💙
WOW your make up look so beautiful... love your story and so happy about your daughter... so glad you listen to God. thank you. you inspired me!
Love you, Maya😍😍😍😍
I felt this because i had a similar story especially the part where you said you broke down and cry it was the first time i cry and felt it from deep within ... which im turn lead me to trust in the Lord and have faith and know that his timing is always right ... thanks you so much for sharing ❤❤❤...
So proud and encouraged by your testimony. To God be the Glory!
Wow! Sis, you have really gone through a lot of challenges, but the Lord that saw you through all of that will continue to see you through IJN
Don't give up on trying to become a singer bc u might have luck and opportunities may come your way. I (for one) would love to hear u sing😘
AMAZING!!!
I subscribed 3 videos back (on today) I absolutely love the way you connect with us, your vid family. You have inspired me with your testimony and because of your obedience to share it in this platform God will show you greater things that will blow your mind and I can’t wait to hear about it! You are absolutely radiant! ❤️
Wow thank you so much sis!! 🙌🏾❤️
Proud of you. Keep giving Him the glory. Continue to be blessed!
Amen Maya! Wow what an inspiring story. I simply respect you and adore you! I'am a God fearing woman. God has a plan for us all. Things happen for a reason. Good is good and he is able. I'm late but I stumbled on your channel and I immediately had a connection with you and I was instantly drawn to you. This video validated that connection even more. Sweetie you're not built to break and you're a true testament to that. I also just read your beautiful Mothers words and she could not have said it better. You're blessed in so many ways and I know in my heart God has many more plans for you. Sis keep going until you reach that mountain top. I don't mean to sound cliche but I'm binge watching all your videos and I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every one of them thus far. You are the real deal.
Bless your heart for sharing your beautiful story
Thank you love ❤️
Awesome Testimony 🙏🏾🙏🏾💕💕So Glad you listened. God is so good
Thanks for sharing Maya, you are an inspiration. I would love to hear more about your story. I struggle with depression myself and have experienced an abusive relationship. You seem like such a sweet lady.
Absolutely! That’s why I share. For my ladies that have been through something similar! More story time videos to come! ❤️ you got this my love, better days to come ☺️🙌🏾
I just want to applaud you for your strength and determination... you are a true testament of what it means to be a strong black woman .. Your story touched me on another level as a single mother myself with a similar background story especially having a baby while trying to complete college .. wooo you hit every marker .. so proud of your accomplishments and love seeing your growth keep shining queen 👑
Love your story
Maya I really enjoy your videos especially this one...you and I share a very similar story. Always remember God is faithful and has an expected end that is good for His children. Keep going sis!
Your story is very inspiring. Brings tears to my eyes.
Maya can I use a darker shade foundation as a contour or I need to buy a cream contour.
What the difference between bronzer and highlighter?
So grateful to God that you don't look like what you have been through. You are so amazing & I hope the blessings of God keep flowing in your life like never before. Keep doing what you are doing., I don't know if you know it or not but you have been helping so many. I love you and I pray you get everything you want. this lip tho yasss!!!!
Thank you for sharing your story! I’ve been through a lot. I’m understanding now God’s plan for my life. I’m trying to hold back tears. I love watching your videos! Thank you for being obedient in that moment because God knew I would need to hear this today!

Powerful testimony, girl. You are beautiful inside and out. I'm a new sub but wanna say I love your content!! It's so uplifting and helpful. You are making a difference...God bless you! 🙏❤🌞
💯✔️
Thanks for sharing your story i went through the same thing except i was 16 in high school. MAN THAT WAS VERY VERY VERY HARD FOR ME and HARD ON ME... All the hateful stares i got from the students and stare downs i got from the teachers it was horrible. I hated it. I had no one to talk to about it at all. It was really tough thank god i was already 7mths when school started and i ended up having my son 1month later. I wouldn't of been able to handle something like the whole school year. So called friends weren't friends anymore family were the worst ones they made me the towns topic but a few of my friends still were there for me. There was 1 teacher that stood out and was actually genuine concerned and supportive. I wish i could find her to say thank you And some teachers treated me fairly but a few teachers tried to flunk me thinking i wasnt going to come back even knowing that i asked for my homework while i was out they still gave me an F. But GOD IS SO GOOD BECAUSE I MANGED TO HOLD DOWN A JOB FOR 2 YEARS AND GRADUATED AS WELL. (I payed my own daycare every week)PROUD OF MYSELF BECAUSE I CHOOSED NOT TO BE A STATIC. MY SON GAVE ME A DIFFRENT TYPE OF LIFE and it inspired me to prove everyone WRONG i went to school during the day regular hours after school i went str8 to work. I would make it home at 10 everynight and often stayed up to 2am to do homework and study. THANK YOU GOD......
Wow!! Thank you for sharing sis!! Yes our stories are sooo similar. The stares and judgement I got some students and professors alike was just soul crushing. And it didn’t make it any better knowing that my daughters father was keeping the secret and had no judgment whatsoever 🤦🏾♀️ And making it happen for yourself, baby in hand.... AINT EASY! BUT GOD! We are strong and it’s only a testament of how no matter the circumstances, God had our back and what seems like a negative life experience at first can change absolutely EVERYTHING in the best way possible. I’m wit u sis. God bless. 👌🏾😘❤️
This story is amazing!!! God knows all things
Thank you for sharing your testimony 💯💯💯
Thank you for sharing this story. It's definitely a tough situation however you are blessed to have a child. I am proud that you didn't give up and you kept going.
Beautiful testimony!!! I have been watching your videos for like the past 3 hours!! And omg I love you soooo much!! I knew it was something about you… and it’s God!!! Love you keep being great!!
I just found your page randomly a couple days ago and I’m really happy I did. I’m 31 now at 19 I got pregnant (with a friend, wasn’t in a relationship) and I did get an abortion.... watching the video has me thinking back to that day like damn was there signs that I was ignoring or not even seeing. Obviously I can’t change my decision now.. and in my heart I felt like I was making the best decision for me and for the baby, I had no job , no money, no man... what was I gonna do with a baby? But I go back in forth still till this day in my head like damn I’m a coward I should of just did what I had to do. (It’s not like I was being reckless having sex without protection, the condom broke and boom )but then I tell myself you did what you believed was the right thing at that moment... I say all that to say I really appreciate you sharing your story and I love the way you bring God into it. I’ve never been very religious I always pray but never was into going to church. But I’m trying to get more in touch with God. And idk I just like the vibes you give . So thank you 😊 🧡
thank for sharing , I always feel better watching your videos . i can tell you stay prayed up. Your channel is going to grow , keep it up! People are going to want more.. Please stay on youtube
Wow. Thank you so much!! 🙏🏾❤️☺️
Plus the fact that you have no hate towards your daughter's father shows your pure heart, you are amazing.
I am a teenager 17 years young 😏😏😅 . Watching you rise up and push past all your setbacks is so inspiring.
Thank you so much for sharing! May God continue to bless you with His greatness 🙏💕
Hey makeup look is beautiful and I really enjoyed this video. Thanks I needed to hear this.
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏾❤️😌
