Self Care Sounds Vol 7 | Shai Mackk

We had the pleasure to talk Shai about what it means to follow your dreams, the reward in taking risks, and how she is becoming a trailblaizer in the modeling industry. Check out the Self Care Sounds Playlist and IG Live Interview Below!

What made you choose this selection of music? 

• This is the music that makes me feel the happiest and yes they’re all over the place but that’s just who I am, I’ll play whatever I’m in the mood to hear at the moment. Whether it’s be hyped up or calmed down

What brings you joy?

• Talking to my little brothers, taking walks with my girlfriend, going out with my friends

What would you do to self care if you had no money?

• I would make myself a nice meal, turn on my favorite show, and cuddle up in the bed with my
  girlfriend

What do you aspire to do in the future?

• I want to be a full time actress, mom, wife, entrepreneur, and philanthropist

If you could talk to your younger self what would you tell them? 

• You are beautiful just the way you are, inside and out. NEVER dim your light for anybody

If you could be any animal which one would it be and why?

• I would be a jaguar, they’re beautiful but vicious

What made you choose your profession? Do you enjoy it? If not, what would you rather be doing?

• I chose my profession because I enjoy being in a creative space, I love being creative with my body and creating a dope image through clothing, makeup, and sets. I really enjoy it but I don’t see myself doing it forever.

How do you stay sane in the modeling industry?

• Do my best not to compare myself to my lighter skinned or thinner counterparts. It gets really hard but it’s helpful to surround myself with other models that look like me.

What do you do to self care?

• Taking myself out to eat, getting my nails done, cleaning my room, buying myself clothes
