I went through the same exact thing post partum. I gained 80 pounds with my son, lost about 20 & kept the extra 60. I was tiny before. But we are STRONG WOMEN. WE CREATED LIFE WITHIN OUR BODIES. I have been a silent follower of yours for a while now and my favorite version of you is you as a mother. You are beautiful just the way you are. Our weight gain, stretch marks, and scars is the strength we have gained. God has blessed us. Keep your head up. 🩷
I went through the same with my son five years ago I gained 100 pounds mind u I was 120 before getting pregnant most definitely wasn’t used to the weight but I knew I can make the changes needed and wanted I was so hard on myself on top of letting people opinion in mind you people would think I’m pregnant just rude and now being pregnant again years later the mission is getting my body back good healthy and what I want as the world say my mommy body to be women mommy are powerful and we got this no matter what
Lady at the DMV please have several seats!! What a powerful word God gave you in the midst of an ignorant encounter!! I receive that message. I literally have lost count of how many times I’ve had people say negative remarks about me being single and not having kids “for my age” and totally dismiss all my career accomplishments. Thankfully, I will NEVER let a lost, fallen world dictate anything over my life. I listen for God’s voice only.
1. This body held & protected two beautiful babies for 9 months! 2. This body brought those babies into this world safe & healthy 3. This body shows your strength & the power of a woman This body is beautiful & don’t ever let anyone make you feel it isn’t! There is nothing more beautiful than the body of a mother whether pregnant , just gave birth or years after having children. There is no better love! Your kids & husband are thankful for THIS body! No matter what motherhood looks beautiful on you girl! ❤
I rebuke the spirit in that woman and I pray that you are reminded daily of your beauty, wisdom, and grace! I don't have kids but I'm currently in college and watching your videos is an inspiration to me and SO many other people watching this platform. God bless you!
That was nothing but the enemy working through her. You had so much joy about taking your picture and how good you looked before you went in. Don’t let him steal your joy. You are so beautiful girl🤍
OMG from 25:02 to 33:45 I was in tears. Jesus I received that word and I desperately needed that. Thank you, God for using Maya and allowing me to come to this video to get that word. Amen.
I turned 30 and I gained like 20-30 lbs after being skinny all my life. I haven’t even had kids. I’m so self conscious about my body now. And EVERYBODY (friends and family included) constantly comments about my weight gain. If I had an eating disorder, I’d be spiraling right now. People are so insensitive. I feel you girl…
People should NOT be commenting on other people’s appearances EVER. I’m so sorry you went through that. For me, I tell people. Kindly. They need to know they’re wrong for opening their mouth like that. Sometimes they’re just ignorant and don’t realise. Not an excuse, ever, but they do it because they don’t realise the impact of their words. 💚 anyway sending you love, prayers and strength 💚 thank you for your positivity and faith😊
I told myself in 2024, I am going to speak back (respectfully) on people making rude comments about my body (I’m very petite). I dislike it at times because it makes me look way younger than I am. I’m turning 27 this year still looking like I am 18, but I be having to remind myself that I am made beautifully in the Lord. Not only that, God blessed me with a husband that adores me so much. The thought of those things gives me so much confidence. If people can make comments and expect me to be ok with it, I am expecting them to be ok when I correct their behavior 🤷🏾♀️.
Maya- I am so sorry she hurt your feelings. I’m a mom of 3 and I feel your pain. But, it is so crazy how we view ourselves. Every vlog, I literally say “ Maya looks so good”. “Maya is so beautiful”. You are doing an amazing job Maya. Your sweet bundle just got here and you are doing a great job of shedding the baby weight in a healthy, holistic way (no short cuts). Maya, if it takes you 2 years to reach your goal- it’s ok Maya. Keep working, stay consistent and you will see the results. I love you and much continued blessings to you and the fam ❤
Faith as small as a mustard seed, God is ready to do great things if we just trust him. The holy spirit was working through you not only to give you confirmation that he created all things in his images which is beautiful but a word for many that needed that reminder. Keep sharing your testimony and giving God the glory. He has great things instore for you and his light is shining all through you 🙌
I'm not a mom, but I used to be a professional ballet dancer, and I once had a random old man who I did not know at all, come up to me and my friend at a restaurant, and basically tell me after a look over I wasn't small enough to be a ballet dancer. Like what? He overheard me and my friend talking about our rehearsals and shows, and took that information as enough info for him to tell me specifically that my thighs are too big. Now mind you I was in the best shape of my LIFE as a ballet dancer. Needless to say, I feel you girl. God created us perfectly no matter what man tells us.
To see you in tears broke my heart and very upset with the DMV lady, but honey you spoke some powerful words that got me out my bed and had me shouting. I just had to leave you a comment ❤❤❤ Thank you, I needed this message I had to rewind and listen 3x😂😂 I ❤ you and many blessings 💋
Sooo the lord still working on me…tell DMV lady I want smoke!!!! All jokes aside, you are absolutely STUNNING! Don’t let anyone make you feel otherwise 💛 sometimes people thrive off of making others feel low about them selves so they can feel high. The postpartum period is not easy but you will get through this 💪🏾
Awww Maya. I’m so sorry that she said that to you . 😢😢😢😢 you’ve birthed 2 beautiful babies!!!! A woman’s body is amazing!!! You look AMAZING!!! Please please please don’t ever let the negative comments get to you. That was very disgusting of her to say! Keep being you, keep being beautiful!!!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Man I started crying with you , we love you maya . You're everything to us. even when you may not be feeling the best . you're loved by so many just for being you.🥺
People need to learn to keep their opinions to themselves, people obviously know how big or small they use to be or are. We dont need to hear it, you never know what people or going through. Im sorry you had to go through that maya, the important thing is that you are happy with yourself. You are doing the best you can!🤍🙏🏽
GURL being pregnant right now you had me in tears and mad for you. You coming back after your prayer was so much needed. This weight journey has been the tough part for me and with so many people having something to say your words were needed. Sending all the love, please continue to be a blessing to all of us ❤🎉
Mya everything about you is beautiful, and don't forget Satan uses others to make us feel bad about ourselves. You are doing great and doing the best you can. There's a good and beautiful reason why you are bigger now...that beautiful reason is called children...a beautiful gift from God.❤ Please pray 🙏 to God that he will cause you to see yourself as he sees you, not the way the world/Satan sees you.😊
My girl, as a mama of 3 and 1 on the way, we have grown women bodies now! And these same bodies created beautiful children that are now going to be a blessing to this Earth. The same bodies took 9 months to make a human with a mind, spirit, soul, and a heart. There is absolutely no such thing as a snap back, it takes time for our bodies to recognize these grown women bodies we have now. You are healthy, you are safe, and you WILL remain at peace. We are proud of you and declare with you that God will continue to speak through you! We love you!
I’m a pregnant mama right now. And I’m at my most insecure point I’ve ever been in such a long time. Thank you for the word you shared! “I’m walking in the future me and will continue to have faith indeed this point will come to past” AMEN! ❤ It truly will be an AMAZING year!!
This is the reason I watch you, you really are a true child of GOD. I love your relationship with GOD and I pray that I continue to learn more from you.
Maya I’m glad you prayed through that moment in the DMV. The merciful and gracious YHWH used that moment to bring Him close to you. He wanted to remind you of your place with Him. You are like a daughter to me and I wanted to reach through the video and give you a big momma bear hug and tell you how much you are loved and appreciated. As long as your husband isn’t complaining about your weight that’s all that matters. You are a strong young lady! ❤
Maya, thank you for this. I am 10 months postpartum and I can’t look at myself in the mirror. The stretch marks and weight gain. But hearing you today, I will hold my head a little bit higher. Remind myself that my body gave birth to an incredible baby boy, who fills my heart with joy. I’m sorry that woman at the DMV made you cry, but as you said you’re walking as your future you.
That lady at DMV didn't need to say anything about your size.. take the picture and shut up. People at the DMV are so rude and mean... I'm so sorry this happened to you... I think you look amazing, and who cares about that lady... stay positive and focus... you set your goals, and you got this boo... Keep your chin up.
Girl I understand TRUST me I am a mom of 3 under three had them back to back to back. My body is nothing like it was before. I’ve cried , I wear bigger clothes to hide myself I don’t go out and that is crazy. I’m proud of you for getting in camera to even film being a mom is so challenging at times but very rewarding. One thing I’ve started to think of is my body will NEVER be the me it was before kids I will NEVER be the me before kids because my body grew three beautiful babies and my mentality is totally different being a mom. I’m trying to embrace the new version of me and letting go of what I used to be because trying to go back to what I was will never be we have gone through to much we have grew up so embrace the new you and when you get your body to how you want it it will be your new version don’t look back look forward mamas ❤
To be honest I’m baffled. I can’t believe that she even looked at your past picture and said that comment. I didn’t gain weight during pregnancy but after I had my daughter I gained weight. I’m so so sorry that you went thought that but 2024!!! ITS BOUNCE BACK TIME! That lady don’t have anything on you!!!!!! You betta show out!!! Know that you ARE THAT GIRL!!!! I love you sis!
Oh Maya I cried when you cried I couldn’t take it. Our babies are a few days apart. She is my third blessing and I have received comments like this as well. It is so disturbing. Please know you are absolutely beautiful and comments such as those are not coming from love and it is not a depiction of who you are or whom you belong to. Keep your head up we got this mama!
Wow, that talk up after the DMV encounter was powerful!!! We have power through the Holy Spirit to access a version of ourselves nobody can see yet!! *activate your faith y'all!!* Thank you Maya ❤️ I wish you'd cut that whole part out and upload it separately as a motivational video. I soooo needed to hear that
I just wanna say you are an inspiration to me I am where you came from back in New York…..I’m in a toxic home right now and after watching your videos I got in my word and now I don’t let my mother tear me down. Seeing how far you have come and see the family you created ….. girl I know for a fact god has a bigger plan for me. I stopped being a victim of a toxic home and set boundaries and you taught me to that no matter what if I’m in my prayer and a child of god, all will come to pass. I don’t let words from toxic people tear me down anymore. I simply stand my ground, say you won’t treat me this way, and go pray to the lord because I know those people who turned on me will never prosper in that darkness. I know god sees your heart, my heart, and all his children’s hearts and he will protect us, guide us, and those who are toxic and have done us so much harm…. Baby good luck to you because god see that and those people will never have the blessings I know are coming for us.As a matter of fact I don’t even want those people to be around for my blessings and the life I will create with gods strength and plan for me. So please keep speaking your truth and inspiring people like me because this last year…. I have been through the worst in this home and I know in this new year all will come to bless me because I put in that work, payer, and watch people like you who inspire me, are gods massagers, and keep my light shining knowing I will get to the other side. It’s been so hard not having a father in my life due to drugs, a mother who puts men before her children , is petty, will steal, lie, deceive me, and turn around and tell me I’m the problem and threaten to hold money, my dog, my everything over my head and try to take it when I go. When she isn’t even here to take care of those animals. To worried about going out 7 days a week and sometimes not even coming home at all, tryna finding men to pay for her. It’s truly sickening to watch. But you taught me to be so strong and none of that matters because god will protect me and I know I have a great soul and a person who would never do those things to my worst enemy, let alone my future children. So please don’t let this world’s cruelty take hold of you because I need you. When you take the time in your videos to speak the word of god and give a message, EVERY SINGLE TIME I feel like it’s related to what I’m going through and it brings a light into my soul and reminds me that I will get through this, I’m gods child and the evil will never overtake what god has in store for me. I love you and you are a beautiful person inside and out and don’t let no one ever make you think anything else about yourself. Children are blessings and your body is a temple housing those blessings and giving life. I can’t wait to see you through this journey and I can’t wait to share my story one day on this platform as well because you inspired me. ❤ it’s people like you who keep people like me going, because giving up ain’t a option and I’m not about to give the devil what he wants. I think of my future daughter and how much love I’m going to show her and protect her in the way my mother never did. Your love for babies makes me see how I want to be with my children. Teach them truth, kindness, faith, love, and to never let this world or people tear you down the way they wish to, gods children never give up and never give into the devils ways. I really wish I could let you see how much your words bring light into me and on my hardest days I know I can go watch my girl Maya, and remind myself I’m gods child. Believing in the things they cannot see.
Wow! I totally agree with you! Maya's word speaks! She reminds me to keep God in front. Also, your message to Maya is beautiful! I just have to say your strength despite all of your battles, is beautiful!! I pray that you continue to overcome everything that comes your way! You got this!!
❤ love watching you! “Turning pain into purpose!” As a mom freshly going through the postpartum stage, I fully empathize with what you experienced. You’re such a strong, faith-filled woman of God. I pray you continue to walk in the purpose that God has willed for you and that He may grant you more grace and strength! You have encouraged me so much through your videos, and I know that the Lord is speaking to me through you! God bless you!!
currently on my fitness journey after pregnancy and my baby is almost 1. I gained 30-40 pounds during my pregnancy and I’ve only lost 10 pounds after a yearrrrr yall!!! mom bodies are beautiful at every stage and we are not meant to bounce back in a month. you had an encouraging word and we are encouraging you girl
Maya, thank you for sharing this vulnerable moment with us. I felt this on a personal level myself, but as a pregnant woman. I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant with baby #3 (one angel baby, one rainbow baby/baby girl, and now carrying our second baby girl into our family). As you and other second time + more mamas, we know our bellies show a lot sooner. I recall only being in the first trimester and I was already showing like as if I was 20 weeks. Being someone with a short stature, I know my belly would be more noticeable. I remember going to a dentist appointment and one of the women at the front desk commented on my appearance. What she told me really offended me and made me cry when I got home. "How many weeks are you? Wow, you're so big already! Maybe even a lot bigger!" Gosh that stung. I totally know the struggle for prenatal and postpartum mental health. I had prenatal anxiety, and then it turned into postpartum anxiety and borderline postpartum depression with my last baby. I'm nervous how I'm going to be this time around, but I'm going to put my rest and faith in Jesus and lean on my supportive husband. We're all in our own seasons/transitions and we're just trying to do the best we can. I appreciate your love and faith, Maya. It inspires me to continue my close walk with God Almighty, His never-ending love, and His sufficient grace for us. ❤
I gained 50lbs while I was pregnant, had my second 14 months later so my body has been going through it! But our bodies has to do what it need to do in order to support your baby. Period. That lady was definitely projecting! What happened to.. If you got nothing nice to say don't say it at all.. You handled that so gracefully though! God bless that lady that she feels convicted to tame her tongue and change her heart.
Maya! That word you spoke had so much POWER! Faith every day!!! We are relying on the Holy Spirit, partnering with him to get the things DONE!! AMEN!! Halleleujah! I can’t wait to see you transform this year girl, one thing about you when it comes to the GOALS baby you don’t PLAY! ❤❤
That was so uncalled for! I can’t believe that she said that to you! You are so beautiful no matter what size you are you are gorgeous! I know how this feels I’m a mom of 6 and my body has went through it and some people are just so rude, I have had a few people tell me how I have gotten bigger and I’m like ya dah I know that!!! It’s been such a struggle! Thank you for always being real! You are such a blessing!! And such an inspiration. I really needed to hear that message more than you will ever know! God is so good!
Don’t worry what she kept saying to you hope you feel better mama you’re strong GOD got you!!!!! He knows better and don’t let them dedicate you you know your worth babes ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
My girl, you are fearfully and wonderfully made by the Almighty God. Whether you have babies or not, you're the image of the most high God. God bless you and your beautiful family. Sending you love from the Caribbean 🇱🇨
Do you see how the HS used what that lady said to you for you to give us a word!!!! Thank you for your videos. You always come with a word and I love that plus your hilarious. I love the way you love your husband and children!❤
I love you maya, just know there is people who look up to you and I am one. You’re amazing and beautiful, and a beautiful mother. I love your faith. Had to click as soon as I seen the video❤
I feel u on post partum I’m a mom of 4 an I’m 24 years old and I always get told that I look pregnant or I gained weight but I’m the same weight as I was when I was pregnant with my 4th baby my baby is turning 2 this year 😢 you got this maya I’ve been watching you from the beginning and girl you are beautiful you got that mom glow ❤
Girl I discovered your channel when I was pregnant. It’s crazy cause I chose the name Ezra for my son like 6 months ago and he was born Dec 4th 2023. With you having your Ezra a couple weeks ahead of me has been so crazy cause I get to watch your videos in current time and I can relate so much. Please keep posting pp and motherhood videos 🤍 You are doing amazing and are an inspiration to me in this time of the unknown 🥰
Maya wipe those tears away. Some people are so disrespectful and so insensitive with the fact they don’t know how to uplift others with kind words. You are beautiful and stay the course. Don’t let people try to steal your joy. Stay the journey and know your growth is soooooo beautiful. Keep your head to the sky and let God rays continue to guide you…looking down is not a option…looking down is not Maya. Continued blessings. Hugs!
ok, I paused at 25:44 and............. Maya I am so sorry that you went thru that. I did pause before hearing the rest of what you had to say but I just want to remind you that on your worst day you are drop deddddd GORGEOUS! Lady is giving big hater vibes. You are so beautiful Maya 💌
Girl people will hate she saw your glow and beautiful face I hate how women hate other women but that’s sadly society stay strong mama ignore the negativity!!! You’re amazing full of heart mama you look great
I love to find other moms on youtube sharing their journey ❤ The pink shirt on you is soooo pretty 😍 I can’t believe the lady said that!! I’ve struggled after two kids as well and it was hard dealing with it. I’m in a much better space now mentally but it takes time.
Girl, you are BEAUTIFUL inside and out!! I love your content and love how real you are with your followers. You remind me so much of my best friend and I would love to have you as a friend! You are so upbeat and positive and we all need more people like that in our lives. Keep being you girl! I love that you are a child of God and share your gift with others!
You have every right to let people know when they are being offensive because forget them people don't think before they speak. So i take the chance to educate and put them in their place because how dare you speak without thinking and not know me at that. Your doing good mama we all appreciate what you do and show us we all love you
You are beautiful don’t cry pretty momma you had two beautiful babies it’s all normal I’m still in the process of losing my baby weight off I totally understand how that made you feel ❤
The AUDACITY people have to even comment on a mothers body all the grace that some people give you during pregnancy literally goes right out the window once the baby is born please don’t allow any more ignorant ppl to make you shed anymore tears. Maya YOU are beautiful you are fearfully and WONDERFULLY made.You were able to house and birth not 1 but TWO healthy babies you are a masterpiece. She doesn’t know the type of woman you have become in such a short time in your character alone you have put in the work in the KINGDOM and that’s all that matters 🫶🏾🤍 I love you down you are such an inspiration and the way God used that moment to speak and create a word into you speaks volumes you got the last laugh , keep loving you for you no matter what ppl can physically see
I have faced that with people too. People are so insensitive. I think you are stunning regardless. You are not just gorgeous and killing it, you are the KING of KINGS' daughter. You are fearfully and wonderfully made in His image❤
Awww shucks little man Ezra is talking...so cute. Don't worry, be patient with yourself...please don't feel behind on your content. We understand you just had another baby and we know you can only do so much. We appreciate and enjoy the fabulous content you bless us with. Love it ❣️ Yes, Ezra looks like you😊

Sis, I want to say thank you because you are absolutely right. I listened to your message and it brought me to tears. I’m glad I can watch your videos and you always have a message and whenever I’m in a rut having a bad day or just having all those bad thoughts about what people have said about me or told me I cant achieve anything or I will never become anything, you brought me through it you helped me get out of that hole. I’m going to start believing in myself I’m gonna start reading my Bible every morning and every night I’m going to do everything in my power to become closer to God and I know if I work hard at my TH-cam channel working through God and with him, he will bless me, you are amazing so keep up the amazing work. You are truly blessed.❤😊
Wow the way I needed that faith talk sis thank you Jesus ah I love you & am happy to just know you girl 🫶🏽 I was size 0 back then the smallest ever then went to XL the biggest after having my babygirl thank you for the reminder we have to work on us for us with The Lord & for sharing your journey with us you are truly an Angel a vessel of God 🤍 proud of you girl, wife, mama, sis, daughter of The King & more 👑👏🏽 I’m a year & 2 months pp I definitely have been lazy but I started drinking 64oz of water so yes we are getting our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual right with Him amen 🫶🏽
I noticed you have the devotional Upon Waking by Jackie Hill Perry. GIRL! That devo is a game changer for me. God is showing me so many things about Himself and I'm getting closer and closer to Him each day. Keep seeking after Him. He is doing an INCREDIBLE work in you and loves you effortlessly. Thank you for sharing your life with us, Maya! ❤
Maya, you are so beautiful, talented, creative, and really God-sent. Don't let ANYONE allow themselves to shake your God-lay foundation. Especially when you know just how much God has his hands on you. You're an inspiration to many and I'm so proud of your growth. You're gorgeous with a beautiful family trust you already won beyond her!
YAAAASSSSS MAYA!!!!🙏🏾 prayer is POWERFUL. I love how you came back on camera after your tears and showed the power of prayer will lift you will boost you and give you LIFE 💕
Oh Maya I hate you experienced that! Your so kind even in those horrible situations . You are Gods child and He doesn’t like when His children are being treated poorly . God will handle her cruelty and give you strength in the process ❤
Please don’t allow someone to steal your joy! Your overall demeanor, is joyful and she attempted to bring you to her level…I’m glad you didn’t allow her to win as you bounced right back and she didn’t see you sweat! Go girl! 🎉 shout out to you having 2 babies, good wife and momma - #your-winning
Absolutely love the long vlogs but I be wanting to comment every new scene 😂… waiting til the end be hard but first off even though you are gorgeous regardless of your size I’m so excited for your work out journey! I actually think this will be the best version of maya! I’m currently 37 weeks today (1st baby) and I’m so nervous for postpartum (not even labor) for the moments that will easily trigger me without me being mentally prepared for it. I just appreciate your transparency… and your words/prayer because we very much need it. I feel like every vlog you def speak to something I need to hear so I’ll see you next week girly 💕💕✨
When she spoke about the lady and gave us that message and then she spoke about not waiting for things to happen cause I went to church yesterday and heard a sermon on not just waiting and it was called the in between place. I was like hold on God’s trying to tell me something 👀.
Miss ma’am at the DMV must not know you got a gang behind you. She definitely could have saved her comment. The way this made me want to physically handle her is insane! You’re genuinely beautiful inside and out regarding of what phase your body is in. You’ve birthed 2 beautiful babies and nothing can compare!!!
I love how you always turn it around. This is the greatest thing you have. This is what casting all arguments that exalt itself above God down! It’s giving Maya from a few years back who had an anxiety attack on cameras and turned the whole day around. Praise God!! Pain into purpose!!
The way I just ran to this comment section after I watched the postpartum vulnerability section I paused and immediately went into prayer with you girl! I’m not a mother so I may not be able to relate completely but I’m curvy woman and I know what it’s like to be judged by man(woman). When the only judgement that matters is my Fathers and he’s made us fearfully and wonderfully in his own image. The scripture the Holy Spirit wanted me to give you is Isaiah 43:1. You keep going girl and do what makes you happy, be yourself something that no one else can be and let the haters hate. There’s nothing the devil can do to put your fire for Jesus out. As he said no one or nothing can get in between God’s love for us, we are enough to him.
Maya I love the Christian music 🎶 addition to the videos ❤❤❤❤I love this for you and for us!!! I am so proud of you GIRL! Please don’t cry about the insensitivity of others. She obviously wasn’t aware of how it must have sound and how rude that was. I am so sorry you had to experience that. You are beautiful. You are a wonderful mother. You body is a vessel for the Holy Spirit and for the use of God. I bind the insecurity even now in Jesus Name. God placed 2 beautiful lives inside of you. To fulfill His will and plan for your life. You are gorgeous. Our bodies produce miracles! You go ahead and love on yourself and your husband loves you and honors you for bringing his children into this earth. You continue to grow and excel and move forward WOMAN OF GOD 🔥🔥 keep pushing and toning and working on yourself because God cares about our health and well being! Continue to serve him Minister Maya you GOT THIS AND we are backing you! Watch God use all of it for His glory!
I know exactly how you because I’m still going through postpartum and I just had my babygirl 6 months ago and I have certain people who say stuff like oh the baby weight hasn’t left yet or you used to be so small and now you are big and it hurts because like I’m not who I used to be I’m a whole mom now and also it’s like what if the baby weight never goes away then what? You know so maya I get it I feel you I hear you and we got this! ❤
First of all maya! You look beautiful honest to GOD!! I personally think you look amazing with a little weight on you! And still very beautiful before! An I hate that you had to experience that people don’t be slow to speak these days and as you said what someone says about you does not determine who you are!! We shall never submit to what others stay! Keep your head up beautiful! I love you and everything you stand on! Beautiful inside and out!!!
Misery loves company @the dmv lady! Being in my postpartum season as well, I don’t let nobody speak to me negatively whether it’s about my weight or how i raise my son. And like you said, we should always be reminded of who we are! I am God’s daughter, in my transformation era, ever evolving and growing, eating plant based whole foods & breastfeeding my son-with a husband who loves & supports me & our family! Who cares what others think or say! Love your vlogs so much❤ I always watch you while breastfeeding 🥹
Awwwww Maya, I’m crying with you 🥹 I am too just like you. I have a 1 year old who will be turning 2 the month after I have our newest bundle of joy. I’m currently 3 months and when you say “not comfortable”. I totally understand 🥹. I had just started kind of losing weight then boom pregnant again. It’s just so different. People are so insensitive with their nasty comments. You’re beautiful in and out and for women like myself and I’m sure others can relate. You definitely help us get through it!!!!! I wish you hadn’t heard those comments but I know as always, you will land with grace. You got this girl💚
Hi Maya! I just wanted to say thank you so much for your transparency. You are a beautiful person inside and out, and I think it’s amazing that you are not going to let anyone or their ignorance dictate how you feel about yourself. I myself am 26 weeks pregnant with our second child after experiencing pregnancy loss almost 4 years ago. God is amazing, and just as you said there is purpose in our pain! 🙌🏾 My experience definitely taught me that. Please continue to stay strong in your faith and in who you are! God is going to continue to do amazing things through you and your family. 🙌🏾💕
I’m a mom of 3 , Girl my aunt that hadn’t seen me since I was a teenager was so confused who I was at the grocery store she couldn’t believe how I look now I got really down after that … I do work out & try to eat right but sometimes it gets hard I’m always in a hurry but just think this at least your kids are happy & lucky to have a roof over their heads & you are an amazing mom… I’m always in sweats & with a hair bun but my kids are always well fed & bathed and clean & happy that’s all that matters ‘!
I’ve been watching you for a while Maya, and honestly I think you have never looked more beautiful and radiant than you do now. That feminine glow that motherhood has brought onto you is real, authentic, GOD GIVEN beauty.
I admire you Maya for actually doing the hard work to get the results you want. A lot of influencers just take shortcuts and get plastic surgery then lie to their supporters
Maya you are gorgeous hunni! Don’t let that disrespectful woman’s comments get you down. You are healthy, strong and loved by those around you and your social media community! Children are a blessing and we see you knocking motherhood, being a wife and just being an all around baddie out the park! Keep shining!!
I don't comment too often, Maya but I've been watching you for a while now. The devil tried to play on your fear, but God!! The devil tried to play you through that lady but he forgot who's you are!! Pray for her. That God gives her the wisdom and discernment to choose her words more carefully so she's not spewing more toxicity to others. You are beautiful and wonderfully made at any size.❤ Thank you for continuing to share your faith journey and be vulnerable with us. Forever rooting for you!
Hey Maya I’ve been watching you for a while and I just want to thank you for letting God use you. For reminding us that the battle is the lord not our own, and how it’s important to draw strength from the Holy Spirit to “tap in”. These last couple of months have been pretty rough for me but I know it’s because I’ve been trying to do things on my own. But you truly you have encouraged me to keep pushing and allow God to have his way. So now I want to encourage you to keep going! You are beautifully and wonderfully made. You keep letting him use you and he’ll keep moving mightily in your life. Thanks again for what you do! And I pray you keep going with this platform! And don’t ever let anyone or anything keep you from doing what Gods called you to do!
I went through the same exact thing post partum. I gained 80 pounds with my son, lost about 20 & kept the extra 60. I was tiny before. But we are STRONG WOMEN. WE CREATED LIFE WITHIN OUR BODIES. I have been a silent follower of yours for a while now and my favorite version of you is you as a mother. You are beautiful just the way you are. Our weight gain, stretch marks, and scars is the strength we have gained. God has blessed us. Keep your head up. 🩷
I love❤
I went through the same with my son five years ago I gained 100 pounds mind u I was 120 before getting pregnant most definitely wasn’t used to the weight but I knew I can make the changes needed and wanted I was so hard on myself on top of letting people opinion in mind you people would think I’m pregnant just rude and now being pregnant again years later the mission is getting my body back good healthy and what I want as the world say my mommy body to be women mommy are powerful and we got this no matter what
Thank you so much I
I'm watching your TH-cam
Beautifully said, I don’t have kids yet but this is giving me the strength I need to hold on to for when I do become a mother. God bless you! ❤️
Lady at the DMV please have several seats!! What a powerful word God gave you in the midst of an ignorant encounter!! I receive that message. I literally have lost count of how many times I’ve had people say negative remarks about me being single and not having kids “for my age” and totally dismiss all my career accomplishments. Thankfully, I will NEVER let a lost, fallen world dictate anything over my life. I listen for God’s voice only.
The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy and she clearly was the devil.
AMEN AMEN and AMEN SIS! 🙏🏾.
1. This body held & protected two beautiful babies for 9 months!
2. This body brought those babies into this world safe & healthy
3. This body shows your strength & the power of a woman
This body is beautiful & don’t ever let anyone make you feel it isn’t! There is nothing more beautiful than the body of a mother whether pregnant , just gave birth or years after having children. There is no better love! Your kids & husband are thankful for THIS body! No matter what motherhood looks beautiful on you girl! ❤
This is beautiful! Thank you for this!❤
I rebuke the spirit in that woman and I pray that you are reminded daily of your beauty, wisdom, and grace! I don't have kids but I'm currently in college and watching your videos is an inspiration to me and SO many other people watching this platform. God bless you!
Yes, she the stuff!
That was nothing but the enemy working through her. You had so much joy about taking your picture and how good you looked before you went in. Don’t let him steal your joy. You are so beautiful girl🤍
OMG from 25:02 to 33:45 I was in tears. Jesus I received that word and I desperately needed that. Thank you, God for using Maya and allowing me to come to this video to get that word. Amen.
I needed to hear this!
No Frr 🙏🏾
My pastor always says that we dont see a warrior by the badges we see them by the scars. So heres to our warriors🥂
I turned 30 and I gained like 20-30 lbs after being skinny all my life. I haven’t even had kids. I’m so self conscious about my body now. And EVERYBODY (friends and family included) constantly comments about my weight gain. If I had an eating disorder, I’d be spiraling right now. People are so insensitive. I feel you girl…
People should NOT be commenting on other people’s appearances EVER. I’m so sorry you went through that. For me, I tell people. Kindly. They need to know they’re wrong for opening their mouth like that. Sometimes they’re just ignorant and don’t realise. Not an excuse, ever, but they do it because they don’t realise the impact of their words. 💚 anyway sending you love, prayers and strength 💚 thank you for your positivity and faith😊
I told myself in 2024, I am going to speak back (respectfully) on people making rude comments about my body (I’m very petite). I dislike it at times because it makes me look way younger than I am. I’m turning 27 this year still looking like I am 18, but I be having to remind myself that I am made beautifully in the Lord. Not only that, God blessed me with a husband that adores me so much. The thought of those things gives me so much confidence. If people can make comments and expect me to be ok with it, I am expecting them to be ok when I correct their behavior 🤷🏾♀️.
Maya- I am so sorry she hurt your feelings. I’m a mom of 3 and I feel your pain. But, it is so crazy how we view ourselves. Every vlog, I literally say “ Maya looks so good”. “Maya is so beautiful”. You are doing an amazing job Maya. Your sweet bundle just got here and you are doing a great job of shedding the baby weight in a healthy, holistic way (no short cuts). Maya, if it takes you 2 years to reach your goal- it’s ok Maya. Keep working, stay consistent and you will see the results. I love you and much continued blessings to you and the fam ❤
Omg the “cloak” segment took me outttt!! I’ve never seen Maya laugh like that and it just made my heart so happy!!
Faith as small as a mustard seed, God is ready to do great things if we just trust him. The holy spirit was working through you not only to give you confirmation that he created all things in his images which is beautiful but a word for many that needed that reminder. Keep sharing your testimony and giving God the glory. He has great things instore for you and his light is shining all through you 🙌
I'm not a mom, but I used to be a professional ballet dancer, and I once had a random old man who I did not know at all, come up to me and my friend at a restaurant, and basically tell me after a look over I wasn't small enough to be a ballet dancer. Like what? He overheard me and my friend talking about our rehearsals and shows, and took that information as enough info for him to tell me specifically that my thighs are too big. Now mind you I was in the best shape of my LIFE as a ballet dancer. Needless to say, I feel you girl. God created us perfectly no matter what man tells us.
😮😮
To see you in tears broke my heart and very upset with the DMV lady, but honey you spoke some powerful words that got me out my bed and had me shouting. I just had to leave you a comment ❤❤❤ Thank you, I needed this message I had to rewind and listen 3x😂😂 I ❤ you and many blessings 💋
Sooo the lord still working on me…tell DMV lady I want smoke!!!! All jokes aside, you are absolutely STUNNING! Don’t let anyone make you feel otherwise 💛 sometimes people thrive off of making others feel low about them selves so they can feel high. The postpartum period is not easy but you will get through this 💪🏾
Awww Maya. I’m so sorry that she said that to you . 😢😢😢😢 you’ve birthed 2 beautiful babies!!!! A woman’s body is amazing!!! You look AMAZING!!! Please please please don’t ever let the negative comments get to you. That was very disgusting of her to say! Keep being you, keep being beautiful!!!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Man I started crying with you , we love you maya . You're everything to us. even when you may not be feeling the best . you're loved by so many just for being you.🥺
That word! Yes Lord. Never let the ignorant penetrate you❤
Don’t cry maya, it’s all worth it in the end❤❤
Yes! Maya and McKenna are killing the game and the are beautiful women.
You’re beautifully made in GODS eyes never let the devil make you feel less threw other people. We love you ❤
People need to learn to keep their opinions to themselves, people obviously know how big or small they use to be or are. We dont need to hear it, you never know what people or going through. Im sorry you had to go through that maya, the important thing is that you are happy with yourself. You are doing the best you can!🤍🙏🏽
GURL being pregnant right now you had me in tears and mad for you. You coming back after your prayer was so much needed. This weight journey has been the tough part for me and with so many people having something to say your words were needed. Sending all the love, please continue to be a blessing to all of us ❤🎉
Mya everything about you is beautiful, and don't forget Satan uses others to make us feel bad about ourselves. You are doing great and doing the best you can. There's a good and beautiful reason why you are bigger now...that beautiful reason is called children...a beautiful gift from God.❤ Please pray 🙏 to God that he will cause you to see yourself as he sees you, not the way the world/Satan sees you.😊
My girl, as a mama of 3 and 1 on the way, we have grown women bodies now! And these same bodies created beautiful children that are now going to be a blessing to this Earth. The same bodies took 9 months to make a human with a mind, spirit, soul, and a heart. There is absolutely no such thing as a snap back, it takes time for our bodies to recognize these grown women bodies we have now. You are healthy, you are safe, and you WILL remain at peace. We are proud of you and declare with you that God will continue to speak through you! We love you!
I’m a pregnant mama right now. And I’m at my most insecure point I’ve ever been in such a long time. Thank you for the word you shared! “I’m walking in the future me and will continue to have faith indeed this point will come to past” AMEN! ❤ It truly will be an AMAZING year!!
This is the reason I watch you, you really are a true child of GOD. I love your relationship with GOD and I pray that I continue to learn more from you.
Maya I’m glad you prayed through that moment in the DMV. The merciful and gracious YHWH used that moment to bring Him close to you. He wanted to remind you of your place with Him. You are like a daughter to me and I wanted to reach through the video and give you a big momma bear hug and tell you how much you are loved and appreciated. As long as your husband isn’t complaining about your weight that’s all that matters. You are a strong young lady! ❤
Maya, thank you for this. I am 10 months postpartum and I can’t look at myself in the mirror. The stretch marks and weight gain. But hearing you today, I will hold my head a little bit higher. Remind myself that my body gave birth to an incredible baby boy, who fills my heart with joy. I’m sorry that woman at the DMV made you cry, but as you said you’re walking as your future you.
That lady at DMV didn't need to say anything about your size.. take the picture and shut up. People at the DMV are so rude and mean... I'm so sorry this happened to you... I think you look amazing, and who cares about that lady... stay positive and focus... you set your goals, and you got this boo... Keep your chin up.
Girl I understand TRUST me I am a mom of 3 under three had them back to back to back. My body is nothing like it was before. I’ve cried , I wear bigger clothes to hide myself I don’t go out and that is crazy. I’m proud of you for getting in camera to even film being a mom is so challenging at times but very rewarding. One thing I’ve started to think of is my body will NEVER be the me it was before kids I will NEVER be the me before kids because my body grew three beautiful babies and my mentality is totally different being a mom. I’m trying to embrace the new version of me and letting go of what I used to be because trying to go back to what I was will never be we have gone through to much we have grew up so embrace the new you and when you get your body to how you want it it will be your new version don’t look back look forward mamas ❤
To be honest I’m baffled. I can’t believe that she even looked at your past picture and said that comment. I didn’t gain weight during pregnancy but after I had my daughter I gained weight. I’m so so sorry that you went thought that but 2024!!! ITS BOUNCE BACK TIME! That lady don’t have anything on you!!!!!! You betta show out!!! Know that you ARE THAT GIRL!!!! I love you sis!
Girl you were made for this! You preached a whole sermon 🙌🏼
Oh Maya I cried when you cried I couldn’t take it. Our babies are a few days apart. She is my third blessing and I have received comments like this as well. It is so disturbing. Please know you are absolutely beautiful and comments such as those are not coming from love and it is not a depiction of who you are or whom you belong to. Keep your head up we got this mama!
Wow, that talk up after the DMV encounter was powerful!!! We have power through the Holy Spirit to access a version of ourselves nobody can see yet!! *activate your faith y'all!!* Thank you Maya ❤️ I wish you'd cut that whole part out and upload it separately as a motivational video. I soooo needed to hear that
I just wanna say you are an inspiration to me I am where you came from back in New York…..I’m in a toxic home right now and after watching your videos I got in my word and now I don’t let my mother tear me down. Seeing how far you have come and see the family you created ….. girl I know for a fact god has a bigger plan for me. I stopped being a victim of a toxic home and set boundaries and you taught me to that no matter what if I’m in my prayer and a child of god, all will come to pass. I don’t let words from toxic people tear me down anymore. I simply stand my ground, say you won’t treat me this way, and go pray to the lord because I know those people who turned on me will never prosper in that darkness. I know god sees your heart, my heart, and all his children’s hearts and he will protect us, guide us, and those who are toxic and have done us so much harm…. Baby good luck to you because god see that and those people will never have the blessings I know are coming for us.As a matter of fact I don’t even want those people to be around for my blessings and the life I will create with gods strength and plan for me. So please keep speaking your truth and inspiring people like me because this last year…. I have been through the worst in this home and I know in this new year all will come to bless me because I put in that work, payer, and watch people like you who inspire me, are gods massagers, and keep my light shining knowing I will get to the other side. It’s been so hard not having a father in my life due to drugs, a mother who puts men before her children , is petty, will steal, lie, deceive me, and turn around and tell me I’m the problem and threaten to hold money, my dog, my everything over my head and try to take it when I go. When she isn’t even here to take care of those animals. To worried about going out 7 days a week and sometimes not even coming home at all, tryna finding men to pay for her. It’s truly sickening to watch. But you taught me to be so strong and none of that matters because god will protect me and I know I have a great soul and a person who would never do those things to my worst enemy, let alone my future children. So please don’t let this world’s cruelty take hold of you because I need you. When you take the time in your videos to speak the word of god and give a message, EVERY SINGLE TIME I feel like it’s related to what I’m going through and it brings a light into my soul and reminds me that I will get through this, I’m gods child and the evil will never overtake what god has in store for me. I love you and you are a beautiful person inside and out and don’t let no one ever make you think anything else about yourself. Children are blessings and your body is a temple housing those blessings and giving life. I can’t wait to see you through this journey and I can’t wait to share my story one day on this platform as well because you inspired me. ❤ it’s people like you who keep people like me going, because giving up ain’t a option and I’m not about to give the devil what he wants. I think of my future daughter and how much love I’m going to show her and protect her in the way my mother never did. Your love for babies makes me see how I want to be with my children. Teach them truth, kindness, faith, love, and to never let this world or people tear you down the way they wish to, gods children never give up and never give into the devils ways.
I really wish I could let you see how much your words bring light into me and on my hardest days I know I can go watch my girl Maya, and remind myself I’m gods child. Believing in the things they cannot see.
Wow! I totally agree with you! Maya's word speaks! She reminds me to keep God in front. Also, your message to Maya is beautiful! I just have to say your strength despite all of your battles, is beautiful!! I pray that you continue to overcome everything that comes your way! You got this!!
❤ love watching you! “Turning pain into purpose!” As a mom freshly going through the postpartum stage, I fully empathize with what you experienced. You’re such a strong, faith-filled woman of God. I pray you continue to walk in the purpose that God has willed for you and that He may grant you more grace and strength! You have encouraged me so much through your videos, and I know that the Lord is speaking to me through you! God bless you!!
Girl you know your doing the dang thang! And the enemy will try to hit you where he feels you are weak but our strength is found in Christ 🙏🏽
currently on my fitness journey after pregnancy and my baby is almost 1. I gained 30-40 pounds during my pregnancy and I’ve only lost 10 pounds after a yearrrrr yall!!! mom bodies are beautiful at every stage and we are not meant to bounce back in a month. you had an encouraging word and we are encouraging you girl
Maya, thank you for sharing this vulnerable moment with us.
I felt this on a personal level myself, but as a pregnant woman. I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant with baby #3 (one angel baby, one rainbow baby/baby girl, and now carrying our second baby girl into our family). As you and other second time + more mamas, we know our bellies show a lot sooner. I recall only being in the first trimester and I was already showing like as if I was 20 weeks. Being someone with a short stature, I know my belly would be more noticeable. I remember going to a dentist appointment and one of the women at the front desk commented on my appearance. What she told me really offended me and made me cry when I got home. "How many weeks are you? Wow, you're so big already! Maybe even a lot bigger!" Gosh that stung. I totally know the struggle for prenatal and postpartum mental health. I had prenatal anxiety, and then it turned into postpartum anxiety and borderline postpartum depression with my last baby. I'm nervous how I'm going to be this time around, but I'm going to put my rest and faith in Jesus and lean on my supportive husband. We're all in our own seasons/transitions and we're just trying to do the best we can. I appreciate your love and faith, Maya. It inspires me to continue my close walk with God Almighty, His never-ending love, and His sufficient grace for us. ❤
God is with you ❤
@@jcicrafters5724 Thank you. I believe that. ❤
I gained 50lbs while I was pregnant, had my second 14 months later so my body has been going through it! But our bodies has to do what it need to do in order to support your baby. Period. That lady was definitely projecting! What happened to.. If you got nothing nice to say don't say it at all.. You handled that so gracefully though! God bless that lady that she feels convicted to tame her tongue and change her heart.
Maya! That word you spoke had so much POWER! Faith every day!!! We are relying on the Holy Spirit, partnering with him to get the things DONE!! AMEN!! Halleleujah! I can’t wait to see you transform this year girl, one thing about you when it comes to the GOALS baby you don’t PLAY! ❤❤
One Thing About Maya She's Gonna Help Us And Fill Us Up With The Word!!!!!!! Maya Girl Thank Youuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!
That was so uncalled for! I can’t believe that she said that to you! You are so beautiful no matter what size you are you are gorgeous! I know how this feels I’m a mom of 6 and my body has went through it and some people are just so rude, I have had a few people tell me how I have gotten bigger and I’m like ya dah I know that!!! It’s been such a struggle! Thank you for always being real! You are such a blessing!! And such an inspiration. I really needed to hear that message more than you will ever know! God is so good!
Don’t worry what she kept saying to you hope you feel better mama you’re strong GOD got you!!!!! He knows better and don’t let them dedicate you you know your worth babes ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
My girl, you are fearfully and wonderfully made by the Almighty God. Whether you have babies or not, you're the image of the most high God. God bless you and your beautiful family. Sending you love from the Caribbean 🇱🇨
Do you see how the HS used what that lady said to you for you to give us a word!!!! Thank you for your videos. You always come with a word and I love that plus your hilarious. I love the way you love your husband and children!❤
I love you maya, just know there is people who look up to you and I am one. You’re amazing and beautiful, and a beautiful mother. I love your faith. Had to click as soon as I seen the video❤
"Oh she looks vegan...." 🤣 love it
I feel u on post partum I’m a mom of 4 an I’m 24 years old and I always get told that I look pregnant or I gained weight but I’m the same weight as I was when I was pregnant with my 4th baby my baby is turning 2 this year 😢 you got this maya I’ve been watching you from the beginning and girl you are beautiful you got that mom glow ❤
Girl you are the reason why I'm getting closer to God this year and you inspire me so much Maya
I pray God blesses you so much ❤😢
Watching you is my comfort at this point. Wishing you a blessed week ahead 😊
Girl I discovered your channel when I was pregnant. It’s crazy cause I chose the name Ezra for my son like 6 months ago and he was born Dec 4th 2023. With you having your Ezra a couple weeks ahead of me has been so crazy cause I get to watch your videos in current time and I can relate so much. Please keep posting pp and motherhood videos 🤍 You are doing amazing and are an inspiration to me in this time of the unknown 🥰
Maya wipe those tears away. Some people are so disrespectful and so insensitive with the fact they don’t know how to uplift others with kind words. You are beautiful and stay the course. Don’t let people try to steal your joy. Stay the journey and know your growth is soooooo beautiful. Keep your head to the sky and let God rays continue to guide you…looking down is not a option…looking down is not Maya. Continued blessings. Hugs!
7:32 THIS SONG SOUND SO GOOD
ok, I paused at 25:44 and............. Maya I am so sorry that you went thru that. I did pause before hearing the rest of what you had to say but I just want to remind you that on your worst day you are drop deddddd GORGEOUS! Lady is giving big hater vibes. You are so beautiful Maya 💌
Girl people will hate she saw your glow and beautiful face I hate how women hate other women but that’s sadly society stay strong mama ignore the negativity!!! You’re amazing full of heart mama you look great
Maya, you are such a sweetheart😭 I would’ve fought that lady for YOU.
lol 😂😂😂
I love to find other moms on youtube sharing their journey ❤ The pink shirt on you is soooo pretty 😍
I can’t believe the lady said that!! I’ve struggled after two kids as well and it was hard dealing with it. I’m in a much better space now mentally but it takes time.
Girl, you are BEAUTIFUL inside and out!! I love your content and love how real you are with your followers. You remind me so much of my best friend and I would love to have you as a friend! You are so upbeat and positive and we all need more people like that in our lives. Keep being you girl! I love that you are a child of God and share your gift with others!
You have every right to let people know when they are being offensive because forget them people don't think before they speak. So i take the chance to educate and put them in their place because how dare you speak without thinking and not know me at that. Your doing good mama we all appreciate what you do and show us we all love you
You are beautiful don’t cry pretty momma you had two beautiful babies it’s all normal I’m still in the process of losing my baby weight off I totally understand how that made you feel ❤
The AUDACITY people have to even comment on a mothers body all the grace that some people give you during pregnancy literally goes right out the window once the baby is born please don’t allow any more ignorant ppl to make you shed anymore tears. Maya YOU are beautiful you are fearfully and WONDERFULLY made.You were able to house and birth not 1 but TWO healthy babies you are a masterpiece. She doesn’t know the type of woman you have become in such a short time in your character alone you have put in the work in the KINGDOM and that’s all that matters 🫶🏾🤍 I love you down you are such an inspiration and the way God used that moment to speak and create a word into you speaks volumes you got the last laugh , keep loving you for you no matter what ppl can physically see
Stay strong mya! It’s just the work of the enemy trying to pick at ur insecurities, get under your skin and rattle u. God loves you , I love you ❤
I have faced that with people too. People are so insensitive. I think you are stunning regardless. You are not just gorgeous and killing it, you are the KING of KINGS' daughter. You are fearfully and wonderfully made in His image❤
PREACH!!!! Yes Lord! Thank you for the word after the DMV. I love it here❤️🙌🏾
Awww shucks little man Ezra is talking...so cute. Don't worry, be patient with yourself...please don't feel behind on your content.

Hallelujah, Glory to God, preach my sister. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sis, I want to say thank you because you are absolutely right. I listened to your message and it brought me to tears. I’m glad I can watch your videos and you always have a message and whenever I’m in a rut having a bad day or just having all those bad thoughts about what people have said about me or told me I cant achieve anything or I will never become anything, you brought me through it you helped me get out of that hole. I’m going to start believing in myself I’m gonna start reading my Bible every morning and every night I’m going to do everything in my power to become closer to God and I know if I work hard at my TH-cam channel working through God and with him, he will bless me, you are amazing so keep up the amazing work. You are truly blessed.❤😊
Wow the way I needed that faith talk sis thank you Jesus ah I love you & am happy to just know you girl 🫶🏽 I was size 0 back then the smallest ever then went to XL the biggest after having my babygirl thank you for the reminder we have to work on us for us with The Lord & for sharing your journey with us you are truly an Angel a vessel of God 🤍 proud of you girl, wife, mama, sis, daughter of The King & more 👑👏🏽 I’m a year & 2 months pp I definitely have been lazy but I started drinking 64oz of water so yes we are getting our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual right with Him amen 🫶🏽
I noticed you have the devotional Upon Waking by Jackie Hill Perry. GIRL! That devo is a game changer for me. God is showing me so many things about Himself and I'm getting closer and closer to Him each day. Keep seeking after Him. He is doing an INCREDIBLE work in you and loves you effortlessly. Thank you for sharing your life with us, Maya! ❤
Maya, you are so beautiful, talented, creative, and really God-sent. Don't let ANYONE allow themselves to shake your God-lay foundation. Especially when you know just how much God has his hands on you. You're an inspiration to many and I'm so proud of your growth. You're gorgeous with a beautiful family trust you already won beyond her!
YAAAASSSSS MAYA!!!!🙏🏾 prayer is POWERFUL. I love how you came back on camera after your tears and showed the power of prayer will lift you will boost you and give you LIFE 💕
Preach sis! We literally saw Holy Spirit turn that thing 180 in real time 👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥 you are beautiful then, now and tomorrow. ❤️
Oh Maya I hate you experienced that! Your so kind even in those horrible situations . You are Gods child and He doesn’t like when His children are being treated poorly . God will handle her cruelty and give you strength in the process ❤
Please don’t allow someone to steal your joy! Your overall demeanor, is joyful and she attempted to bring you to her level…I’m glad you didn’t allow her to win as you bounced right back and she didn’t see you sweat! Go girl! 🎉 shout out to you having 2 babies, good wife and momma - #your-winning
Absolutely love the long vlogs but I be wanting to comment every new scene 😂… waiting til the end be hard but first off even though you are gorgeous regardless of your size I’m so excited for your work out journey! I actually think this will be the best version of maya! I’m currently 37 weeks today (1st baby) and I’m so nervous for postpartum (not even labor) for the moments that will easily trigger me without me being mentally prepared for it. I just appreciate your transparency… and your words/prayer because we very much need it. I feel like every vlog you def speak to something I need to hear so I’ll see you next week girly 💕💕✨
When she spoke about the lady and gave us that message and then she spoke about not waiting for things to happen cause I went to church yesterday and heard a sermon on not just waiting and it was called the in between place. I was like hold on God’s trying to tell me something 👀.
@@rinaj1604 better listen to it! lol
@unique.diamond5955 I know and I will thankful for Maya's messages every Sunday 😌
Maya those faith talks hit deep, thank you for sharing that part of your life with us always ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Miss ma’am at the DMV must not know you got a gang behind you. She definitely could have saved her comment. The way this made me want to physically handle her is insane! You’re genuinely beautiful inside and out regarding of what phase your body is in. You’ve birthed 2 beautiful babies and nothing can compare!!!
Honestly TRULY you are the best youtuber I've ever watched!!! I cry, laugh, pray, learn from almost all your videos. Thank you ❤
I love how you always turn it around. This is the greatest thing you have. This is what casting all arguments that exalt itself above God down! It’s giving Maya from a few years back who had an anxiety attack on cameras and turned the whole day around. Praise God!! Pain into purpose!!
I’m very sorry about that ladies comment ♥️♥️ you’re babies are beautiful and you’re immensely gorgeous. May God continue to bless you 🥺🙏🏾♥️
The way I just ran to this comment section after I watched the postpartum vulnerability section I paused and immediately went into prayer with you girl! I’m not a mother so I may not be able to relate completely but I’m curvy woman and I know what it’s like to be judged by man(woman). When the only judgement that matters is my Fathers and he’s made us fearfully and wonderfully in his own image. The scripture the Holy Spirit wanted me to give you is Isaiah 43:1. You keep going girl and do what makes you happy, be yourself something that no one else can be and let the haters hate. There’s nothing the devil can do to put your fire for Jesus out. As he said no one or nothing can get in between God’s love for us, we are enough to him.
Maya I love the Christian music 🎶 addition to the videos ❤❤❤❤I love this for you and for us!!! I am so proud of you GIRL! Please don’t cry about the insensitivity of others. She obviously wasn’t aware of how it must have sound and how rude that was. I am so sorry you had to experience that. You are beautiful. You are a wonderful mother. You body is a vessel for the Holy Spirit and for the use of God. I bind the insecurity even now in Jesus Name. God placed 2 beautiful lives inside of you. To fulfill His will and plan for your life. You are gorgeous. Our bodies produce miracles! You go ahead and love on yourself and your husband loves you and honors you for bringing his children into this earth. You continue to grow and excel and move forward WOMAN OF GOD 🔥🔥 keep pushing and toning and working on yourself because God cares about our health and well being! Continue to serve him Minister Maya you GOT THIS AND we are backing you! Watch God use all of it for His glory!
I know exactly how you because I’m still going through postpartum and I just had my babygirl 6 months ago and I have certain people who say stuff like oh the baby weight hasn’t left yet or you used to be so small and now you are big and it hurts because like I’m not who I used to be I’m a whole mom now and also it’s like what if the baby weight never goes away then what? You know so maya I get it I feel you I hear you and we got this! ❤
First of all maya! You look beautiful honest to GOD!! I personally think you look amazing with a little weight on you! And still very beautiful before! An I hate that you had to experience that people don’t be slow to speak these days and as you said what someone says about you does not determine who you are!! We shall never submit to what others stay! Keep your head up beautiful! I love you and everything you stand on! Beautiful inside and out!!!
Misery loves company @the dmv lady! Being in my postpartum season as well, I don’t let nobody speak to me negatively whether it’s about my weight or how i raise my son. And like you said, we should always be reminded of who we are! I am God’s daughter, in my transformation era, ever evolving and growing, eating plant based whole foods & breastfeeding my son-with a husband who loves & supports me & our family! Who cares what others think or say!
Love your vlogs so much❤ I always watch you while breastfeeding 🥹
Yes girl I needed that word THIS IS OUR YEAR AMEN!!!!🙌🏼
Awwwww Maya, I’m crying with you 🥹 I am too just like you. I have a 1 year old who will be turning 2 the month after I have our newest bundle of joy. I’m currently 3 months and when you say “not comfortable”. I totally understand 🥹. I had just started kind of losing weight then boom pregnant again. It’s just so different. People are so insensitive with their nasty comments. You’re beautiful in and out and for women like myself and I’m sure others can relate. You definitely help us get through it!!!!! I wish you hadn’t heard those comments but I know as always, you will land with grace. You got this girl💚
Hi Maya! I just wanted to say thank you so much for your transparency. You are a beautiful person inside and out, and I think it’s amazing that you are not going to let anyone or their ignorance dictate how you feel about yourself. I myself am 26 weeks pregnant with our second child after experiencing pregnancy loss almost 4 years ago. God is amazing, and just as you said there is purpose in our pain! 🙌🏾 My experience definitely taught me that. Please continue to stay strong in your faith and in who you are! God is going to continue to do amazing things through you and your family. 🙌🏾💕
Maya and her words always gather me right up and make me feel better🥺🫶🏽
I’m a mom of 3 , Girl my aunt that hadn’t seen me since I was a teenager was so confused who I was at the grocery store she couldn’t believe how I look now I got really down after that … I do work out & try to eat right but sometimes it gets hard I’m always in a hurry but just think this at least your kids are happy & lucky to have a roof over their heads & you are an amazing mom… I’m always in sweats & with a hair bun but my kids are always well fed & bathed and clean & happy that’s all that matters ‘!
I’ve been watching you for a while Maya, and honestly I think you have never looked more beautiful and radiant than you do now. That feminine glow that motherhood has brought onto you is real, authentic, GOD GIVEN beauty.
I admire you Maya for actually doing the hard work to get the results you want. A lot of influencers just take shortcuts and get plastic surgery then lie to their supporters
“That was…I gotta pray.” Lord we LOVE you Maya! That’s the energy we need for 2024❤❤❤ Love you beautiful & all of your enlightening energy!✨
Maya you are gorgeous hunni! Don’t let that disrespectful woman’s comments get you down. You are healthy, strong and loved by those around you and your social media community!
Children are a blessing and we see you knocking motherhood, being a wife and just being an all around baddie out the park! Keep shining!!
I don't comment too often, Maya but I've been watching you for a while now. The devil tried to play on your fear, but God!! The devil tried to play you through that lady but he forgot who's you are!! Pray for her. That God gives her the wisdom and discernment to choose her words more carefully so she's not spewing more toxicity to others. You are beautiful and wonderfully made at any size.❤ Thank you for continuing to share your faith journey and be vulnerable with us. Forever rooting for you!
Hey Maya I’ve been watching you for a while and I just want to thank you for letting God use you. For reminding us that the battle is the lord not our own, and how it’s important to draw strength from the Holy Spirit to “tap in”. These last couple of months have been pretty rough for me but I know it’s because I’ve been trying to do things on my own. But you truly you have encouraged me to keep pushing and allow God to have his way.
So now I want to encourage you to keep going! You are beautifully and wonderfully made. You keep letting him use you and he’ll keep moving mightily in your life.
Thanks again for what you do! And I pray you keep going with this platform! And don’t ever let anyone or anything keep you from doing what Gods called you to do!
Don’t feel bad maya everyone goes through that comment as a mom ❤
