Hi, I’m Shamir — a solo-traveling, self-taught creative who’s been documenting my journey of exploring life abroad as a Black woman seeking freedom, healing, and adventure.

Through my Instagram Stories (@madebymirrr), I’ve inspired so many people to dream bigger, travel farther, and believe that a different kind of life is possible. But now, I’m ready to take things to the next level and start vlogging my travel experiences in a way that’s easier to watch, share, and connect with on a deeper level.

I’m raising $1000 to buy a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera and the essentials that come with it (case, lenses, memory, and insurance). This lightweight camera will allow me to capture high-quality content while I move through cities like Seoul — and starting in May, I’ll be traveling to Thailand and surrounding countries for the rest of the year!

If you’ve ever felt like you were living through my travels, or if my story has inspired you in any way, I’d love your help making this next chapter possible. Whether it’s $5 or $50, your support means the world to me.

Thank you so much for believing in me!
