Maya Musk: Resilience & Reinvention Across Generations

Maya Musk is more than a supermodel. She is a nutritionist, author, single mother of three, and a symbol of reinvention across every chapter of life. With a career spanning five decades and continents, Maya continues to redefine what it means to age with power, purpose, and elegance.

Born in Canada and raised in South Africa, Maya earned two master’s degrees while raising her children—one of whom is tech visionary Elon Musk. Her journey wasn’t easy: she faced domestic abuse, started over as a single parent, and built her career from the ground up more than once. But through every challenge, Maya chose resilience over retreat.

As a registered dietitian, she ran a private practice while modeling part-time. In her 60s, Maya’s modeling career surged—gracing the covers of Vogue, walking high fashion runways, and becoming the face of major campaigns. Her book, A Woman Makes a Plan, offers honest insights into her life, career, and the strength behind her calm confidence.

Today, Maya Musk is a global advocate for women’s independence, self-worth, and aging unapologetically. She proves that it’s never too late to evolve—and never too early to lead with courage.
