Maye Musk biography
Maye Musk is a registered dietitian, international supermodel, and bestselling author whose career spans more than five decades across three continents. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from the University of Pretoria, two master’s degrees in dietetics and nutritional sciences, and an honorary Doctor of Dietetics from the University of the Free State, awarded for her decades of contributions to the field.
Motivational speaker Maye Musk built her own nutrition practice from the ground up at age 21 and has since run it across eight cities in South Africa, Canada, and the United States. She is the only practitioner to have led the profession in all three countries — first Representative of the Consulting Dietitians of Southern Africa, President of the Consulting Dietitians of Canada, and Chair of the Nutrition Entrepreneurs at the American Dietetic Association — and is a recipient of the Outstanding Nutrition Entrepreneur Award and the United Nations Novus Global Goals Award for Excellence in Good Health and Well-being.
In parallel, she has been modeling since age 15. She has graced the covers of TIME, Vogue, Elle, and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, became CoverGirl’s oldest face at 69, and serves as a Dior Beauty ambassador. Her four billboards in Times Square in her sixties — and her continued work on global high-fashion campaigns into her seventies — have made her one of the most visible icons redefining age in the fashion industry.
Bestselling Author and Global Voice on Aging, Wellness, and Resilience
Her memoir A Woman Makes a Plan: Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty, and Success is available in more than thirty-five languages and over one hundred countries, and her forthcoming book TIMELESS extends her message of reinvention and longevity to a new generation. She advocates for women’s empowerment as ambassador for Big Green and Dress for Success and has built a major following across North America, Europe, and Asia, including substantial cultural reach in China. More about her work is available at her official website.
As a speaker, Maye Musk combines rigorous scientific authority with a deeply human story of reinvention. Audiences leave her keynotes with practical guidance on nutrition, healthy aging, single parenting, entrepreneurship, and resilience — and with a clear reminder that ambition has no expiration date.
