If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit the mould of who you’re ‘supposed to be’, this episode of Zero Generation is for you. Maya Elious is the embodiment of blazing your own trail – she’s an African-American personal branding expert who defied her strict upbringing with immigrant parents to build a successful business coaching women of faith. In this candid conversation, I got to dive behind the scenes with someone whose online presence I’ve admired for years.
Growing up with strict African parents who had a vision for her to get a good education and corporate job, Maya shares how a twist of fate led her to drop out of college and pursue entrepreneurship instead. She vulnerably discusses the challenges of pivoting from her parents’ expectations to striking out as an entrepreneur, and explains how her upbringing instilled the discipline and faith that ultimately allowed her to succeed.
One of the biggest takeaways for me was Maya’s perspective on branding. She shares how being herself online and listening to how others described her naturally attracted her ideal clients and allowed her to shape an on-brand messaging strategy and business. We also discuss what Maya wants for the next generation of her family and Maya reveals details of an exciting new project that she’s working on. Whether you're building a business or just want to share more of your authentic self with the world, Maya’s insights are sure to inspire you.
