I see you thriving. You got a life, a family, exposure to beauty, quiet and nature. And you made sour dough bread. That which is greatest for our digestion! Yay!! Fame is fleeting. You got a LIFE!

I really admire Maya for building a legacy and not chasing after fame. Places like L.A. ruin so many and take their soul.

Jesus is the way, the Truth, and the LIFE

I've been following you since your viral head shave and during that time i was luke warm, fell into new age deception to now following Jesus again. Thank you for allowing God to use you as a vessel, i'm going to tithe in a new way ❤

I've heard fame is soo lonely 😕 I'd rather have a really loving circle of people who support and love me for who I am. I think that's something we're really missing in our modern societies and I think that's why a lot of people seek fame

Thank you for your honesty and transparency

Im 33 and have worked my tail off to get where i am. I’m a director in my field but my anxiety has been terrible and for the last couple of years I’ve wondered is it too late to change directions - this week i prayed to God for clarity…I believe this video is an answered prayer.

Hi Maya. It’s Myia. 😂 I used to watch you a decade ago and I kind of pulled away and stopped watching when I saw the new agey stuff popping up. Your video popped up again this month and I am blown away by the goodness and faithfulness of God to rescue us from ourselves. You have grown so much and really taken the narrow path. It’s not for the faint at heart and it’s so amazing to watch the Lord in you transform your life. I love watching now and feel a kindred spirit in you. We take up our cross all for the glory of God. Keep running your race. You don’t know me but so proud of you.❤

Video ideas: testimonies; bad things that worked out for good; how to pray.

Yes on how to pray!!!

You left the bread and praise of this world for the bread and praise of heaven. It's honestly been amazing witnessing the glory of God. Thank you for obeying God and sharing you testimony.

I had a very similar experience: I quit my corporate job in entertainment at the top movie studio in LA because it just wasn’t worth the time and stress. I moved to LA from Chicago alone with a similar dream, I was following a passion to market films to the world and came in with rose-colored glasses. I knew nothing of what that would take: the sacrifice, corporate greed, it chips away at what you fell in love with in the first place. I felt like I had to make it work because I invested so much money into this decision to live and work in LA. I still live here because I found love - my bf. But I no longer want to work within entertainment. I prayed to God and decided I want normalcy, a job where I can make positive change that fulfills my soul so I’m looking for more humanitarian positions.

OH THIS IS GOOD!!!!! The way that you are out here being Shameless in all that you are and do, is to be admired. I APPRECIATE U! I love every single thing about this video. Blessings on Blessings on Blessings

Your evolution and growth is so inspiring!

I have been watching you for a very, very long time. I remember when you left your first marriage and was starting over with your cousin. You have had a very eventful journey. I am so very proud of you. Shameless and being open has open doors for you. You have attained so much wisdom over the years.

Oh, Maya! This is so wonderful to witness your evolution. From taking on the Shameless journey, braiding hair, doing makeup to living in Sweden with the family God gave you. Lots of us are returning to God on our own terms. His grace is sufficient and patient. 🎉Congratulations on your soft life. You truly deserve this.

Thank you for riding all these years 🙏🏾💕 ps there’s nothing soft about living on the countryside 🤣 Nothing but heavy lifting, composting and literally managing my 💩 😂

I resonate with this so much... I left the modeling industry for the same reason... I feel God pushing me into a different purpose and I'm excited to keep following God's voice on this journey.

This makes me so happy! God is so good!

I moved from near Los Angeles to Denmark but near the city in Copenhagen. It has been so hard and I miss home everyday. I take my hats off to you enjoying the countryside In another country.

You are the most SOULFUL KZreadr of your generation and generations to come. Ive abandoned my interest for most influencers but you just grow grow grow and it makes me feel so good that someone on the right path has gained so much success

There must have been a shift that happened in 2020 where many people, including myself. started to realize that chasing material things, money, status is all an illusion. I gave my life to Christ at that time period, and ut brought me peace. I came across your channel and seen many other youtubers like Jefree Star moved out of Los Angeles and is now living on a ranch. Like they say, less is more. It doesnt take much to be fulfilled and happy.

I’ve been watching you for yearsssss! Omg you do not age! 👏👏

You walked away at the right time! A lot of us have been without consistent work for YEARSSSS since the entertainment and media industries have proven themselves to be fickle and unwelcoming. Trusting God and remaining creative is all we can do.

I'm so happy to see you thriving and living your life, whether in Toronto, LA, NY or in Sweden. I ran into you, Max, your daughter and some of your friends in Kensington Market this past December, and it was so nice seeing you in person. I see a lot of myself in you and I'm so happy to see you evolve. Wish you and your family all the best! ❤

Oh I remember! It was so great meeting you!

THIS. Your whole message, vibe, glow, God-given authority, it just hits different. And whew chile…not the “scraps from my day” honey! Called myself multitasking listening to you and working, and you completely commanded my full attention there. I’m thankful for you, Maya, and your message. I’m also so moved by the way your life has transformed. I remember one of the first videos I ever saw you do with your bestie? Your cousin maybe? I see you now and I see your glow and I see part of your transformation and I am so happy for you. And I’m happy that we get to share this virtual time with you. I definitely look forward to reading the Bible with you! I have been growing in my walk as well, and I am still so in awe of the way the Lord is moving in my life.

Beautiful, Maya. Im so happy for you. Live your best life, love 💜

Maya, I truly believe you are more blessed now than ever before! You have a loving family surrounding you and God continued to pursue you. You are truly blessed!! 🙏🏼💗🕊️

I've seen you and your videos sporadically over...probably the last 10 years and I just happened to stop on this video today. God is so great! Thank you for sharing this.

Absolutely love love love how far you’ve come with God!!!! I’ve been following you for a while and my God , what a transformation! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 many blessings Mya! Shameless Mya takes on a whole new meaning! Sis is walking unashamed of the gospel and spreading it!! Praise be to God. Amen🙌🏼

Aloha Maya, your glow is so beautiful. I feel that you made the right decision and chose what was most important to you, based off of your values - not the outside perception of what you “should” have done or were “supposed” to do. You have a such a beautiful family and a life that most “famous” people can only dream of. Sure, they may have more zeros in their bank accounts, however that doesn’t always lead to living righteous and with a pure heart that’s dedicated to the greater good. One of my favorite quotes from a movie said “I don’t think that love and fame can live in the same place” and I get it now. So happy for you! You inspire me to reach for more of what I know I deserve 🥰 😊💕 God is so good 🙏🏽

I remember finding your channel for photography, and I sat and binge watched all your videos, then you stopped posting, and then came back. I still watched because I was curious about what brought you to this new life.... Congratulations to you for following your heart and your intuition!

I'm so glad I watched this. I've only been using KZread for worship music, so when I saw the notification, I wasn't interested but the Holy spirit was like "watch that" I glad I did. Glad to see you again Maya!

This is beautiful. I’ve been watching your channel for a very long time. I appreciate your transparency and vulnerability…to see you transform in this particular season of your life is so healing to my own. Thank you for all you do, and most of all..your time!❤

I absolutely love your person, Maya. I've been following you since the good ol' days and it's beautiful to watch you evolve and see how you navigate through all these different phases of your life.

I love seeing you again I was watching your channel from years ago and it so inspiring to see your growth and evolution. I feel like I have been changing recently and just wanting a simpler life coming back to being outside and working with our hands. God bless to you and your family boo!!

You gave a word sis! I felt this and was convicted❤ Thank you for sharing! All praises to the Most High God!

Amen Hello Maya you are glowing and I'm so glad you have chosen to share this truth with me and others that God is the reason for living. I am so very proud of tou and have been following you for about seven years now. I cannot tell you how many times you have made my heart smile. Thanks again.❤❤❤

I love this. I’m so proud of you, Maya. Thank you for sharing your journey and the lessons you’ve learned along the way. May G-d bless and keep you always.

Loved your interview with Randy Kay!!! I watch him all the time.

Love the read the Bible with me ! I’m just getting back in to the church and this is so refreshing

I’m loving this new integration of weaving what matters and all that is unfolding in your lives 🙏✨💕

I've always been a fan of yours Maya and I still randomly say "Do You Boo" ever since I first heard you say it. I loved seeing you put yourself out there during that infamous New York Fashion Week event, all the shenanigans with That Trick Jackie and everything in between. It has been a a blessing to watch you and your family's posts on IG and I love this message from you too. This is exactly what I needed to hear as I've made a shift away from Corporate to follow my passions with God at the helm. God bless you and I pray He continues to use you for the uplifting of His kingdom.

I loveee seeing you evolve and grow and the way you view things!

Just today, I was thinking about this topic…materialism and how material things ultimately don’t fulfill us, but God does….and here I come across this video! God is so good! Thanks for sharing this message Maya! I’ve followed you since 2015 and watching you evolve and grow has been a blessing! Keep doing you! ❤

I love this content from you. It’s so inspiring. I struggle with the idea of “empty”, “look at me” social media content. I want to use my creativity while sharing the word of God gracefully. This was just that. 👏🏽👏🏽

Really appreciate this video Maya! May God continue to bless and keep you and your lovely family🙏🏼😊💛

Maya I love you!!! I've been following since the head shave and all the times in between.one of the most painful videos to watch was where you were triggered in NYC because of all the shooting that was happening below you on the streets as you were in your apartment. It was so much and I could see the pain and fear in your eyes. You are definitely a pioneer in this space and I love how you have evolved!!!! Cheers to you!!!

Love you, Maya. Thanks so much for sharing your journey 🙂✨✨✨

Absolutely love this content! Appreciate hearing your story.

I feel a deep connection with you, almost like seeing a reflection of myself. Since 2018, I've been lost, wondering life's purpose. In 2023, I met a woman who had a big impact on my spiritual enlightenment. Then I went on a beautiful journey of rediscovering my faith and strengthening my bond with God. Your journey and stories have been truly inspiring. I hope someday somewhere we met.

I also happy to see you back in this space. I started watching you yeeeeears ago and to now see your true spiritual growth I am over here praising God.

Praise God! Grace, mercy and peace be unto you.

I have been looking for your channel forever! I remembered your name only! So glad I found you again.

So refreshing to hear your perspective! I wish I could log on and hear more of this type of content. Be blessed!

This is crazy…. I was sitting here randomly thinking why don’t I see “my girls” on KZread and realized I was logged in under my second account I use to research. Then boom the first post I see is good ol’ Shameless Maya speaking on where I am at currently. I was in my bathroom crying trying to figure out why I am not happy. I have money, some access, and the things they say you should have but I feel numb….. it’s the constant of achieving and getting more and that more is leading to my unhappiness. I was telling my husband I was most happy in our one bedroom apartment with neighbors fighting next door and working a job that paid horrible, but I loved. I needed to hear this in this moment. I am going to start working on a plan to scale back .

I'm so happy to see you representing Christ. So many have been inspired by you and for them to hear and see your testimony and what God has done and is still doing in your life is so powerful. Yes, keep shining and inspiring your light queen. 🙏🏾❤

I have been wanting to make bread for a while now. Thank you for the heads up about the starter. I enjoyed this video. I even loved the singing and tidying up after the prayer.❤

Thank you. I need this so much at this time and moment. Praise the Lord!

You go girl, Maya! I am so happy to see you living by His word. You are life is very inspiring to many Christians, including myself! God bless you!

As someone who has followed you from the very beginning of your channel, I so love to see this amazing journey Jesus has taken you on! I love it!! Here's to many more years surrendered to Him 💚🙏🏾

Amen, Maya! Im so proud of your walk. Our Heavenly Father is so merciful, and gracious and loving.

I love hearing your story! That Swedish countryside sounds amazing! There is satisfaction from living simply and being happy. As someone who also lived in New York and LA and know that hustle life, it is nice to slow down and live somewhere where you can catch your breath and really live your life the way you want it. Cheers!

I am new to reading the Bible - new to it all - you just keep speaking to me!!

Thank you for your work in Guatemala. I'm Chapina. I LOVE my homeland. Just found your channel and subscribed. Hugs from NYC! 💕💕

MAYA you gon make me cry girl ❤️ I love this so much. My husband and I are on the journey toward missions in Sweden and to think I’ve watched your videos since 2013 and seen you grow to be on fire for Jesus is incredible. In 2013 I was agnostic and in art college doing whatever fit right in my own eyes. To see how God has moved and worked from then until now and headed to Sweden…it just blows my mind. Keep doing what you’re doing in Him with this channel Maya, He is doing so much more than you probably could think or imagine behind the scenes. Thank you for listening to Him and loving Him. This is so encouraging to see ❤

@@shamelessmaya I can’t tell you how encouraging it is to hear your intercession for Sweden. We are officially headed in that direction to be apart of what God is already doing over there, to lock arm and arm with Him with fellow co-laborers cultivating that gospel movement. It’s so exciting to see your heart for God, Maya. This encouragement ricochets across oceans and nations. I can’t wait to see what He does in and through your life through the work you do on KZread ❤️ you are planting so many seeds!!

Yesssssss Maya I’m so happy to see where you are TODAY!!!! Keep making a better version of yourself, and walking with the Holy Spirit within💛🙏🏾

Amen... I absolutely love this.

I've been watching you since your apartment days in NY. So glad to see you not only evolve as a human but surrender your life to Jesus. God bless you sis, keep thriving in the Lord!!

As a Christian financial counselor, I approve this message! I tell my clients that their soul is the most valuable possession they have and that is eternal. Glory to Jesus Christ !

Im so proud of you and your growth. I hope to get there 😊Living in NYC all my life is cool but tiresome. Id love to move to a quieter more peaceful environment but not sure where to go. And with no money and health issues it makes it difficult. But watching your journey inspires me. I want my life to feel fulfilling not just working all the time you know? And traveling abroad is something i really want. Anyway i love you and im proud of you ❤

Watching this literally at break of dawn after my devotional is top tier first fruit. Thank you for reminding me that giving for greater impact of the kingdom looks different and is valued by God.❤

This was such a beautiful video, Maya! I truly appreciated the message. You're glowing from the inside out girlie.

I LOVE this video Maya!!! Hope you do many more❤ shoutout to Max for the editing..i loveeee it..x

Absolutely love this Maya. Thank you for sharing. 😊

I feel ya on the income thing. I live in Dallas and I volunteer with Dallas Metro Ministries and am humbled by the poverty some people live in my own backyard. We just need to turn the corner and you will find people in need.

Glory to God for your obedience to share. Amen

Thank you for continously sharing your journey and speaking on your journey with The Most High. I have been following your journey since the beginning and I'm always inspired to seek deeper on my own path. Much love 🤎

Ok Maya!!!! With the Bible verses and bringing it into your experience. Love this, great food for thought!❤❤❤ I loved this, do the Bible verses videos. I watch your videos in the morning with coffee and journal my thoughts. I’m here for it. And the song at the end… girl you are talented. 😊

It’s beautiful to see how far you’ve come. Acts 14:22 says we may go through many tribulations before entering the kingdom of God. You’ve experienced life, and now our father God in heaven is calling on you loud & clear. Blessings Maya 🩵

Wow this is so beautiful and right on time. I was on this journey to being rich and then wala I realized that I just want a simplified life. Honestly having all that stuff strokes the ego and makes us not really good ppl. Thank you Lord for taking me on the right path. Thanks for sharing. I am okay with having money but to help those who do not have the skills and resources to have what I have.
