Meet Mariah Salae

 

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Mariah Salae a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Mariah, so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.

Sometimes it’s hard staying confident and feeling good about yourself because there’s soo many people that do the same things as you so it can easily feel like competition all the time. For me I just know that I love performing so regardless of what people think I know that I’m having fun! And performing isn’t an easy thing to do in front of people! So I give myself props for that hahaha

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

I make music and am an actress. I like making music that makes people want to dance, feel good and have a good time! I started as an actress working in a few films such as a new one coming out called “The Burden of Guilt”.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Definitely going at your own pace and knowing that everyone’s journey is different. Not focusing on trying to be somebody else but focusing on being yourself be unique!

What’s been one of your main areas of growth this year?

Doing all of this! I’m honestly proud of myself for even trying everything, making songs and putting them on streaming platforms, played a character in a feature film! I’m definitely not a #1 artist and may never be but I’m glad that I’m trying and following my passions!
