Mikayla says “I’m told that with all the chaos in the world right now, an interracial family is inspiring. And I’m one-quarter black and Adrian is one-quarter white”. Yes, they are an interracial couple breaking the internet through their posts! Mikayla married her husband Adrian Shocks when they were 23 and 21 respectively. The couple dated for 5 months when Mikayla got pregnant with their first child and she was in her junior year then.
She says “It was a complete surprise. My due date was the first day of senior year classes. I walked across the graduation stage to receive my diploma carrying my 10-month-old baby on my hip”. The couple had their first daughter, Adya. Mikayla worked in a baby product company while Adrian was a college student. The couple has 2 more daughters, Myla and Luca and a cat called Olly.
In April 2016, the couple got their very first viral post after a professional family photo shoot when Mikayla said “At that point, I only had 130 followers. After that, I just gave people what they wanted — blog posts, photos of Ayda, and everything just kept going viral”. In 2020, she established Solsister after being inspired by her 2 daughters who happen to be the “sun and moon” of her life. Over time, she has built a large, loving community of young women through social media.
