We had the good fortune of connecting with Mariah and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mariah, as a parent, what do you feel is the most meaningful thing you’ve done for them?
I believe the most important thing I’ve done as a parent is instill wisdom into my children although they are still very young. More so my daughter because she is older, my son is still a toddler but however I do plant those seeds.
I believe the best thing you could do for your child that is more valuable than all the clothes, or toys in the world or getting them to school, is to give wisdom and cover them with prayer, love, care, and most importantly wisdom.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
went into having a career as a makeup artist but I discovered I had other talents that I wanted to pursue in such as a singer and fashion design. It actually came to my memory on how in my younger days these were talents I was pursuing but then life kind of happened so I’m going back into that. I am just beginning with a new and fresh start. life is a journey and it’s okay to start over and go after what you know you were born to do. My music will inspire others and uplift and I look forward to shining forth my creativity in fashion with all of the ideas that I want to put together. Makeup/beauty will always be apart of but I am branching out. I like to say I am a jack of all trades. It was never easy and I overcame my challenges by prayer and faith in Christ because that is what I believe and know to be true that has always gotten me through in life.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would take them to my favorite restaurant in Vegas at the Venetian Resort. Always good customer service, great food,

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I am grateful to my husband for being there for me in my journey of self discovery and finding my purpose. The journey is full of ups and downs but it’s brought a great learning experience and it was Him there with me through it all and still is!
