  • Tales From My 30's: A Decade on CZcams and Beyond. I finally turned 40 on May 20th and celebrated in a big way. Not only were my 30's a wild ride but they were documented here on my CZcams channel. I'm sharing my stories and insights I've learned and what I look forward to next!

    The fact that you did a whole 180 in your 30’s makes me so happy!
    Women are told today that our lives are over at 25. Thank you for all this inspiration Maya!

    I'm so glad you went into the fact that even though Prince had EVERYTHING, there was an unhappiness and unfulfilling feeling he was dealing with. I mean, he had everything but a true family of his own. Two divorces, his son died a few days after he was born along with miscarriages from women he was dating here and there. He has everything but the family he always wanted. He had his band but they were on his payroll so....can't get much true family out of that. On top of all that, the pressures of being a star beginning in his late teens....He gave so much of his talent to the world, yet he left with nothing but himself alone. RIP Prince.

    I met maya when I first moved to LA. I interviewed with her for a graphic design position and remember just feeling like it was such a full circle moment. I had her merch in high school and she was the only "influencer" i was inspired by. And there I was, post grad trying to work for her. It ended up not working out, she needed someone with a car and a passport and honestly I was such a newbie at being a designer its probably good that it didn't work out. Fast forward 3 years, I'm an art director, designer, and illustrator, I've worked with people i never would've dreamed of, I got my own apartment (the first place Ive ever furnished on my own which is huge for me), i have a passport, a car loan LOL. She doesnt even live in LA and now has a family! So much has changed and yet I still feel like so much is in store. I say all that to say, now as a grown woman I'm thankful for this video because its a soothing reminder from a familiar face and importantly from a woman older than me, that life can be abundant in MANY different ways. Life can change 180, but if you are in tune with what you want and never stop moving new blessings, new chapters, new desires can take shape. It's all about evolving. I hope i have the adaptability and resilience Maya has in my reserves because God willing, there's MUCH more to go. Sooo happy for you Maya. We've both come a long way.

    Hi Maya,
    I’ve followed your channel for a while! I’m happy and excited that you are seeking more of God. Accepting Christ as my savior has been a wonderful journey. Be careful of New Age Christianity. The more you seek the true and living God, the more the Holy Ghost will reveal false teachings.
    May He continue to lead you and guide you. Thank God for Jesus.

    I just turned 40 myself & it definitely is an age where you pause and really assess your journey so far. Been watching your vids for a while, also on the new channel, & I am always impressed with your measured, careful self interrogation & general insight, even when I don't always agree. Many happy returns 🥳 For me, I thought I would wd be more freaked out because at 25, I thought 40 was so old... 😅... & it's easy to look at what you don't have - I'm single & childless & definitely not wealthy....the first two by design, the latter by circumstance... 😆... but I've now leaned into what's been going well - my writing, my professional life, my immediate family & writing communities of other black creatives... I walked into the party my sisters threw me with a giant 40 in lights & instead of feeling intimidated, I felt...excited. My 20s were confusing. My 30s were sobering & now I think my 40s will be transformative. I wish the same for you!! As we say in Jamaica 🇯🇲 Nuff respec'! 🙏🏽

    I really appreciate this video! I'm in my early 30s and I keep thinking that, when I was a kid, adulthood was presented as "settling down, married, kids, same things day in and day out". I never really heard adults talk about change, growth, their many life phases and their journeys, so to hear someone reflect on the journey is really meaningful.

    I loved my 30s-there was a show on ABC called “Thirty Something” that was right on time-and I felt young and happy. I returned to college at 30; was getting divorced, and was a mom of a 6 year old son and 3 year old daughter. My forties were fabulous; my fifties were fire; and now I am 62 (I’ll be 63 in July 25), and I’m going full speed ahead!! You are fabulous, Maya, and live each day to the fullest with your husband and daughter! Look for a Church of Christ in your area and study the Bible with the mature ladies.

    OMG that Harlem video brought me back.. and when you went to LA it was sunny and fun and a lot of movement in your life (a lot of hotel videos and events, etc). Your smile and laugh and overall curiosity and ferocious bravery at tackling life was always an amazing thing to see. The video that sealed the deal for me was the stunt with huge balloons outside NY Fashion Week. There was a moment that you showed your fear and doubt after all the planning and it made me realize you dealt with fear like the rest of us, but just put yourself out there. Your channel has always been an inspiration to me and others to be more brave, and take more chances in life.

I want a different career than the corporate jobs I’ve landed in but I always was so nervous and unmotivated to start working towards my dream job. I watched your videos telling us to hustle and make moves but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Seeing you have success in your 30s and now family focused in your 40s is so inspirational. I feel like I still have a lot more life to live. I’m slowly getting over the fact that my 20s wasn’t a successful decade for me. Seeing your story helps a lot. Thank you!

    Chills chile chills!!! 🥰 I remember the early days bc I was in high school and I was following this traditional sense of what I wanted to do and be after HS bc it was all about preparing for college and etc, but I didn’t really want to go bc I knew it wasn’t my thing or purpose. You were the only person I saw and watched that embarked on such a journey, and I remember being so in aww of it all bc I’ve never seen anyone do such a thing or be so willing to esp around me. I was so inspired and motivated by it, and it was also like an escape from my reality at that time bc of the uniqueness of it & I was so drawn to your journey & creativity. I still did college for a couple of years and worked while doing creative side jobs bc that’s where my heart was before deciding to go a whole different route and “follow” my dreams per se. Im 27 now, an entrepreneur, author, and I advocate for BW and children’s mental health. I still have other dreams and aspirations, but I know that your journey is what sparked that curiosity and belief that I could do something more and different bc it never left my mind and heart ever since. Nothing compares. I probably said this before but ur the sister I wanted and needed in my head 💀 I’m forever grateful for you and that you chose to share your journey with us through it all. I’m so happy for you and your new endeavors, and I seriously get so mushy and gushy seeing you with your family bc of how much you continue to grow and embrace each season of life.

One thing that jumps out is marriage. The relationship I was in recently ended, and I just knew that he was my person. So the breakup threw me for a loop.
    Hearing your journey through your 30s to now gives me hope that a breath of fresh air is coming and that while I may be in a valley/low right now, I’m heading towards a peak!

    This literally brought tears to my eyes, you have been my Internet sister over the years, and God used you at so many points to remind me to get rid of the shame of not being where you think you should be, or life has to be the way you thought. Im a whole decade behind you, 12 years celibate and the mess of the dating world🙄, believing that the one who I will be equally yoked with will find me, choosing to work, live, earn in a way that allows me to be true to myself and make time for other ventures and plans God has for me. Im so grateful for your life, for how unconventional it is and knowing from watching that you have fought for it physically, mentally, spiritually. You have chosen your self and been so intentional in learning about what is best for you and that is so commendable. I'm watching its possible every time I watch you, God bless you and your family, your relationship with God, in everything, may you grow more and more into your purpose, mwahxx

I'm 33 and I'm currently feeling a little lost and stuck but I'm happy to have an example of someone like you who did so much in your 30s and isn't depressed about being 40.

    You know the old saying-"it's a small world"? My earliest childhood worked for Prince when he was making 'Purple Rain'. That was 1984. 35 years later, he showed up at my brother's deathbed the day before he died. His name is Jonathan. We knew the guy who was the photographer for Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks. His name was Herbie. He was there when Stevie wrote and recorded that duet with Prince: 'Stand Back'. Shameless Maya: Coincidence or synchronicity?

The only thing right that makes me feel happy is watching your videos with you and your family. Your videos brings a sense of calmness and security. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

    This gives me hope for the future. I'm turning 30 this year and struggle with the sense that I'm "not where I'm supposed to be" - I only just got clear on a couple of the things I want from this life - one of them being family - and the awareness of a desire unrealized seems more painful then when I had no clue what I wanted. I'm hopeful that things can turn around for the better.

    Definitely needed this message! I turned 32 on May 20th (happy belated birthday twin btw!) and 31 was such an emotionally and mentally catastrophic year for me. Hearing your message definitely gave me the confidence and faith to look forward to the coming years, especially when it comes to love. I'm so proud of your journey and rooting for you every step of the way! 💜

    You are like a compass, a guide, a sign-post to me of what’s to come. Embracing growth, age and seasons wholeheartedly is what you continue to challenge me to do. Thank you for inviting us to walk with you, you are incredibly reassuring.
    There is no way of doing this life thing well without loving, knowing & being in full fellowship with self. Many blessings to you ✨

    @tasmygomez Před 2 lety +1

    Maya, this video was so soothing. Being in my mid 30s, I found you when I was a new natural and you did that first hair video. Since then, you have been like a sister I can tune in and see what has she been up to, from NY, to LA, your series, that trip where you met your husband. Makes me emotional :) because I remember how hard you had to work to get yourself together. Now, being 35, after experiencing a divorce that broke me, losing everything and trying to rebuild my life all over again I was also left with one thing: God and His love, the only thing that can keep us going. I am happy you chose yourself, and your family. I am happy to see you grow and I hope I can continue to hear from you over here as long as it makes you happy. Sending love.

    I came looking for you today because it's 6/7, and I thought you just might be feeling some kinda way. And you are. Feeling Fabulous at 40! Hoorah!!! Darling, you look 17. That trip seemed EPIC, and Miss Saga is growing so swiftly and beautifully. Your journey has been a treat to watch. I can't imagine how fabulous it is to live it. Wait til you get to your 60s, love. There is nothing that can compare to having survived this long without having killed or been killed. "Can't nobody tell you NUTHIN." Aging is the new black. Cheers, doll!

  • @Wintersno

    Maya! Maya! Shameless Maya! You've been helping me on my journey as a young woman for the last 10 years! I was here for your first video and I was about 15 then, I am 25 now. At even now, at 25, I'm not feeling the pressures of being where everyone else thinks I should be because of women like you, older than myself, who have been expressing for years that where I actually need to be is where I will be placed by God---always. So I am patient, I am enjoying life, and I a making my 20s seriously enough but not allowing the expectations and desires of others to control my life. So many friends of mine have been starting their families, getting married etc. and I've been abstaining (.I talk about it on my channel ) for about 4 years now and dating (it's fun!) and I just want to thank you for sharing your life experiences with us. You changed my perspective on life at 15! and I'm 25 doing things I love because you constantly share your testimony of goodness and patience, and it is such a blessing. It has been and continues to be an honor watching you grow and evolve.

    We never personality met, but been following since NYC days, we have a parallel type of life, except that you are much more daring and have been being the best Shameless person to not leave in fear then have some regrets. I think that is why you are successful, always authentic, did the self-discovery and God send you to the right place to meet the right person at HIS time. When I watch your videos, it brings me back (this June 24, 2 weeks will be 45, I don't feel it nor believe it lol), I care much less about people's opinion anymore, then when I was in my 20's (This too Shall Pass). May God continue continue to bring light and great inspiring videos 💖 Happy Birthday Maya🎉💝🎉💝
