MAYE MUSK

This Woman can do Everything!

Maye Musk is a fashionable, charming, professional supermodel, trend maker & rule changer, award-winning dietician & anti-aging expert, best-selling author. May is 73 and she has been running her own nutrition business for over 45 years. This Woman is not afraid to grow old! Maye has helped people meet their health goals, lose weight and feel fantastic every day. She is also the internationally renowned mother who raised engineer and technology entrepreneur Elon Musk, restaurateur and philanthropist Kimbal Musk, and filmmaker Tosca Musk; May has 10 grandchildren.

But things were not always so easy or glamorous-she became a single mom at 31, struggling through poverty to provide for her three children; dealt with weight issues as a plus-size model and overcame ageism in the modeling industry; and established a lifelong career as a respected dietitian, all the while starting over in eight different cities across three countries and two continents. But she made her way through it all with an indomitable spirit and a no-nonsense attitude to become a global success at what she calls the "prime of her life."

She has reached the peak in her field in three countries: the first Representative of the Consulting Dietitians of Southern Africa; President of the Consulting Dietitians of Canada; and Chair of the Nutrition Entrepreneurs, Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition. She also won the Outstanding Nutrition Entrepreneur Award in the USA.
Maye has worked as a trusted nutrition expert with numerous corporations, associations and universities all over the world. Her book, Feel Fantastic, is a complete encyclopedia of good health habits, empowering readers to live their best every day. To complement her career in dietetics, Maye has been a professional model for 50 years. She is represented by agencies in the USA and worldwide. Maye is an Ambassador for two non-profits organizations: Big Green, building vegetable and fruit gardens in under-served schools; & Dress for Success, a global not-for-profit organization that has helped more than one million women achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, a variety of personal and professional development programs and work attire.
