    This year I will be shameless by wearing my natural hair, wearing the clothes I want to wear, being more aggressive with my business promotion, and going after what I truly want in life.

    Hey Maya, I'm Catholic and Filipino as well and I just wanted to say, I believe that humility isn't about hiding away your talents or not promoting yourself. Humility is letting your gifts shine through to make this world a better place but always realizing that those gifts came from God and to always go back and thank Him for your talents and ask Him to guide you on how to best use your talents. When I watch your videos I feel like you really embody that humility. You shamelessly show the world how much you love God and you honor Him by using the talents that He has given you and humbly go back to Him and recognize you are where you are because of Him.

    I met you in person at VidCon - so often when you meet the youtubers you follow IRL, it can be disappointing. Thank you for being so gracious in person, and also for making the type of videos I adore watching! Everything about you - your brains, your generosity of sharing your knowledge about technological stuff - EVERYTHING!!!

      Reb3lious S0ul I don't think they are just for women, I think you can take just as much from it as a man. There are a lot of pressures on men to be successful, attractive, and interesting all at once. As a woman I hear and see the pressures that I am supposed to feel, but my parents raised me to be myself and never question myself. What I gain from her videos is that from any situation there is opportunity to grow and change, so I don't ever have to let myself feel trapped by anything or discouraged.

      Where guests retreat for a day(s) to learn about the steps to becoming #Shameless, dream boards, youtube affiliate crash courses, Shameless exercises...? Something along those lines
      *

      p.s I remember when Maya uploaded that video and I've watched her grow and it's amazing how far she's come. I've always been inspired and so I started making videos, writing down ideas, editing...I'm setting a date for my Shameless debut and first upload! (I would never have posted a comment like this before but why not? Steps I'm taking to becoming #Shameless)

    • @TrellWest
      @TrellWest Před 7 lety +7

      ColourByCandice that's so awesome! I just started my channel as well. I just gave myself a challenge today to upload a video a day. Or try to.. I've always been a perfectionist and it's helped a lot. But yes the shameless retreat/boot camp sounds so good! It's crazy once you realize the only thing that's holding you back is your SELF.. and if that's the only thing than honestly.. you're the only one who can change it!
      Maya has definitely opened my eyes

      Go out there and work towards your vision! Don't let anyone put you down. Self belief is a rare commodity these days. Learn to cultivate your beliefs, from sticking to little habits that would give you the confidence to try bigger things.

    Maya is a very uplifting person, who truly wants the best for her supports and shows her true self. I love how she doesn't let this "fame" and "money" get to her head. She looks out for us and I truly admire that about you as well as your person story. I know it wasn't easy but I'm glad that you are living your dream as well as helping us create ours. I love you maya and continue to Do You Boo

    I love this video… very inspirational and it has brought tears to my eyes. I had a horrific accident 3 years ago and it changed my life… my marriage has ended, im now a single parent and im 31. But ive started a Pain support group, retrained as a makeup artist (studied law before) and now ive started CZcams and although its only been a few weeks it helps keep my mind active and its slowly building my confidence. I thought I would be too old… but im doing it for me xxx

When I accepted your "DO YOU BOO" Challenge in 2015, I was going through a dark space with family, finances, being on my own, and fighting through the pain. Ok, let's fast forward to two years later...Now I'm doing an internship with the Disney College Program (I've recently been extended a THIRD time; Nothing but GOD), I started a career in modeling just for fun, and I just started to post music covers!!!! Thank you for being YOU and I would love to meet you one day!!!

    Our mindsets are soo similar. I'm always on and off social media. People never understand, but I've never felt good about social media. I always feel like its not growing me in anyway, but rather hindering my growth. I've been trying to be more intentional about how I use social media I've also been feeling the need to sacrifice a few things in my life. Thank you soo much for this. Jesus is my biggest inspiration too.

I'm an actress and I've resisted doing theater and CZcams stuff because I've been so afraid. I did theater here in Los Angeles this month and got great response and reviews. It was liberating. Hearing about all the things you've had the courage to do is so inspiring. Go, girl!

  • @CleanAndCrueltyFree
    @CleanAndCrueltyFree Před 7 lety +1

    Thank you, Maya! This is amazing and exactly what I needed to hear. I've always been really in to doing makeup, but was bullied all throughout middle and early high school for experimenting with it. I got called terrible names and people would constantly comment on it, so I basically just stopped and felt like I HAD to keep it natural in fear or what people would say or think. Finally, at 26, in a completely drab career where I'm miserable, I decided to take the leap and just do me. I took a few years learning how to do makeup professionally, on my own, and now am starting CZcams channel and freelance makeup artist career, on top of still working full time. I feel the exact same way about promoting myself, it's uncomfortable and feels a bit self-serving, but I try to keep it real and true to myself. So far all the feedback has been very positive. It helps to keep in mind that not everyone is going to like you or your craft. You can't please them all, and that's OK. Thank you for all the helpful videos and inspiration.

  • @SeenSecondhand
    @SeenSecondhand Před 7 lety +1

    So much of what you said Maya resonated with me. I was brought up the same way (strict Catholic Filipino) and it's really a challenge not to feel ashamed and just plain SHY about doing this CZcams stuff. For the longest time I didn't put myself out there because I always thought self-promotion=bragging and drawing attention to oneself was a huge no-no. So thanks for speaking out about your experience and what you did, you're an inspiration!

    Maya, the message(s) in this video were Heaven sent.. I am now a firm believer that people and things come into your life at the time they do for a life transforming reason. Stumbling upon your first #Shameless video 5 years ago, shedding tears as you shed tears as you were experiencing life changing CHANGES has impacted me more than I can even begin to express....
    It almost feels like we grew at the same time...man...When God sends you his word through someone it's more than a confirmation! Thank you for allowing him to use you to channel out your dreams and passions while walking in your purpose and transforming us all! You inspire me so much....I still remember the day you first said the word #SHAMELESS...I remember being so confused and amazed that someone DARED slaying their fears and making their dreams a reality. After all, this is the true meaning of life, isn't it? May we all find our purpose and impact many more to find their own!

    I'm vowing to be shameless as well. It's hard because I too grew up introverted and "humble" about my talents but I'm seeing how I have to change my thoughts to change my reality. I had a period where I broke out of my shell but slid slowly back into it but I see how to step back out. I'm tired of hiding and giving up the spotlight. I'm tired of my own excuses and self-defeating/self-sabotaging/self-denying behaviors and thoughts. I'm tired of believing that I don't deserve all the goodness and blessings that come from my labor and faith. No longer accepting my limits and bounds. No more! It's time for something new and different. It's time to be shameless.

    @xostephbell Před 7 lety

    It's insane how similar our journey is. I've always been a creative person in photography, film, hair/makeup, and fashion but I'm always afraid of sharing my work. I hate asking people to do stuff for me and pay me for my services. I moved to Los Angeles from Michigan straight out of high school and started a CZcams channel and for a long time I never posted links to videos on my other social media but now I share on Instagram but I'm still working on sharing to Facebook haha. I'm beginning to work and collab with friends now because I know it's important to work with other people. I'm still on my journey to shamelessness and I've definitely seen a change in my life since I moved 2 years ago. You've definitely been a huge inspiration to me and my next step in attending your 5 year anniversary party ALONE! I've never been to an event by myself and I'm so nervous but plan on standing out and networking with everyone! I can't wait to meet you congrats on 5 years!

    OMG Everything you explained about being shy and quiet but having so much creativity inside you but being afraid to share it, explains everything about me! I have been trying to get out of it and put myself out there but its so hard and so scary! i'm almost 30 and not living my dreams like i want because i keep holding myself back. man its hard! I admire you so much!

    I'm a relatively new subscriber and I never really knew what you meant by 'be shameless' but hearing this video... WOW! You can't imagine how every single thing you just said is exactly what I needed to hear at this exact moment in my life. It's almost a little creepy! I didn't know that I needed to be shameless, but you really have given me an epiphany and I realize now what I have to do. THANK YOU! 💖💖💖

    I clicked on this video from somewhere, not expecting much, but I am so inspired after watching this!
    I really appreciate what you told about being shameless and going out there. I feel that I have so much to share, but I block myself from doing that, because I was not raised to be loud and put myself in the spotlight. And sometimes it is what you do, to make your message passed and let your talent and potential create amazing things!
    Yes, we need to be shameless, even if we aren't prefect and just share ourselves with the world

    You hit the nail on the head "Sometimes being humble can developed into being ashamed because you have to be reserved" and this shed some light on why I feel ashamed sometimes to be me as a Christian and not in a unhealthy way but just as you described it louder then the norm and a jokester. Thank you for putting this into perspective for me.

  • @Jazthegiant
    @Jazthegiant Před 7 lety +1

    Maya, please come out with a book! I want to buy 10 copies. I love you so much, you inspire me everyday to just keep pushing. If I envision the life I want to have, that lights the fire under my ass to get up & get to it because it's not going to be handed to me. I wish you could inspire other people in my life to have the same go-getter attitude which is why I really think you should come out with a book. ❤️

  • @thedannijuhl
    @thedannijuhl Před 7 lety +1

    Maya this was the perfect day for this video to come up in my suggested videos! I've been trying to be a creator/artist for years and figure out where I fit in this world. I've been watching your videos since before I was in college and I'm about to graduate next year, and I"m realizing that this year is the year to act! So I started filming my first video today documenting my journey, even though I"m not exactly sure what the name of it is or what it's even going to be. This video gave me so much hope that all the things I wrote in my journals can also come true for me. Thank you for this!

  • @leoncita0902
    @leoncita0902 Před 7 lety

    I still remember that April 24th, I was going though so much and that video appeared on my suggestions.. listen, I cried with you not because you were cutting your hair or doing an experiment but because you were trying to reinvent yourself, trying something new and facing your fears! I was born on April 24th and I think God was sending me a message though you! That's why I always come back to your channel whenever I feel down! If Maya did it, I can do it too! I will always support you and be genuinely happy for you. You inspire me so much! Thank you Maya! Happy Shameless Anniversary!

I truly love, appreciate, and respect you Maya. I don't know if you remember me, but I remember you from high school. And it's beautiful to see the woman you've become - you are truly an inspiration. I pray that I too can inspire me daughters, loved ones, and my viewers - the way you do. Thank you my sister 🙏🏾💕😘 God bless you

    The latter part of today , after being overwhelmed with feeling stuck, I've been slowly trying to recalibrate my thinking , on how to approach things and not throwing in the towel and feeling sorry for myself. And then this vid pops up to really help to further gather myself! I have so many things I want to get done, and by God I will. I just need to stop trying to do it all by myself and not overthink every process all at once

  • @keller109
    @keller109 Před 7 lety

    It's amazing to see how far she's come. I subscribed before she had even a handful of videos up. Not even 30,000 subscribers yet. For those of us who were around since the beginning... it's almost surreal thinking of her journey and accomplishments in retrospect. Just incredible. I'm so proud of her.

Being 'Shameless' helped me get into modelling, start my youtube channel and more! Im so glad I found this video and now have a word for how i've been trying to live

  • @joannahh.6259
    @joannahh.6259 Před 7 lety

    I can relate! Also growing in a Filipino household where we were raised to be humble and sometimes even judged if we were doing things "out of the norm." I was/and still am a very creative person. I cheered for an NFL team, appeared on multiple dance reality shows, and yet, I still feel shameful at times. As I get older, I'm finding it necessary to put my work out there (started teaching dance again) before I no longer have the capability of doing so. I think it is our calling and this video and message is enlightening! Thank you!

    Maya, girl... you have a gift. 💎
    I've been feeling so down lately, mostly because I'm not happy with where I am with my life right now. Been so busy feeling sorry for myself and celebrating others, forgetting that "Yo! I need to look after myself and put in the werkkk so that I can live my dream." Being a young, aspiring actress trying to push her grind AND also studying towards a degree that I can fall back on is tough but I shall conquer. 🙏💪 Thank you so much for another inspiring video. I love you. May more blessings come down. Love, from South Africa. 🌻

I keep telling people that I have to take breaks from social media sometimes coz it triggers some mild depression in my life and no one else other than you got it. Thank you so much Maya for being Shameless and introducing to the concept. I've been ashamed for so long and I recently (actually just two days ago)decided to get rid of (read ignore) my the fear! I just placed my order for some foundations to finally start building my make up kit to FINALLY kick-start My MUA business!!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

    Maya, There were just sooo many gems in this video I don't even know where to start! You inspire me in my own "shameless" journey with my CZcams channel and in my personal life. Like you I've always been the most introverted extrovert and too shy to show people my true personality but CZcams has become my safe haven to show just who I am.
    And I too had to get the courage to leave a boyfriend who no longer loved me. Because of the fear of looking like a failure, that was hard for me but I declare I am now done. Thank you for that advice at 5:30.
    After listening to all of your achievements and advice I look forward to where this platform is going to take me. I can't wait to celebrate my 5th year! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! Love you Soul Sister

    This is such an important conversation. Using the word, "shame," is a perfect word to describe what I and many other people feel about putting their work into the world. We feel like other people will put us down for being ourselves. In reality, a lot of that is in our heads. Great video! You're an inspiration!

    gosh, i remember watching that first video! it has been such an honor to watch your journey!!! i absolutely LOVE how creatively beautiful you are. the crazy thing is that you can totally see little bits of that in you even when you watch the first video. you are so spot on about being honest with yourself and noticing that shift in your heart when it comes to social media. i HATE the idea of "subscribers" and "followers" instead of real human beings and it really gets in my way (I'm working on that lol) thank you so much for every step that you have ever taken to empty out every bit of brightness that you BRING TO THIS WORLD!! Love what you are doing girl. so much more to come :)

I was hooked and ever so my life has changed!! I'm walking without a cane (still sick) back loving Jesus and paying tides but get ready I'm a Photographer (yes I bug you all the time 🤣🤣), I just want to say you have been such a mentor to me❤️❤️😍😍😘, I'm a fan for life and your big sister in my head "I Shameless" 😜😀😁, thank you thank you😀😀😘

    @theprettyplatform7780 Před 7 lety

    I've been trying to start my channel for almost a year now and fear of not being perfect has stopped me. Yesterday after my commute back home from NY I was done. I sat in my car and just talked introducing myself in to my phone. I decided that if all my loved ones accept me for who I am then why not give the world a chance. My hair isn't done and I was just in my car. it's definitely not perfect but it's who I am. It felt so good to just jump in despite the fear. I'm still concerned, but my desire to be myself is going to beat out my fear. I'm sure of it. I just saw your video above and want to tell you that although we don't know each other but I'm proud of you, your growth and your shamelesness. You are an inspirational person, woman and artist.

    Thank you so much! I decided a few weeks ago that I would have 31 fearless days in May. I'm in my 40's and have started so many wonderful things but would stop when I felt like I was getting to "known". I didn't want the negative feedback to start coming. At this point in my life I still care about how my actions influence others but I'm going to keep going anyway! You can't please everyone. I'm so freaking excited. I have already done some prelim things but I will hit it hard in May. This video was perfect timing for me. I wish you continued success and thank you again.
