We had the good fortune of connecting with Helen Maiyu and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Helen, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.” – Kurt Vonnegut.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m a content creator & social media influencer. My days typically involve attending events, creating user generated content for brands, editing, making videos, and/or streaming on Twitch. My other creative ventures include making custom rugs and pixel art.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I was born in Washington, D.C. and raised in Maryland. If my best friend was visiting the area, I’d love to show them the various museums in D.C. One of my favorites is the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
To my amazing support system! To my friends, family, and partner, thank you for always believing in me!
