Hey, I’m Shy — short for Machiyla. I’m a writer, actor, and creator who turned my personal growth into art. I talk about healing, heartbreak, motherhood, confidence, and faith — the real parts of life that shape who we are. On Threads, I speak my mind. Here, I’m selling my words: monologues that speak your truth, affirmations that rebuild your confidence, and motivational soundtracks that keep you grounded in purpose. I’m not waiting for perfect lighting or perfect timing — I’m showing up as me, and I want you to feel empowered to do the same.
