While many may not find Maiyisha Rashad familiar, her story of determination and uniqueness and the journey to create her identity separate from her parents, famous figures, should resonate with many people.
She has followed her own path in life as the daughter of sports broadcaster turned NFL player Ahmad Rashad and his ex-wife Matilda Johnson.
Early Life
Maiyisha Rashad indeed got an opportunity to grow up in the world full of sportsmen and stars thanks to her father. She must have had more or less a regular childhood and yet every now and then she would get a sneak peek into her father’s glamorous lifestyle.
Although the records about Maiyisha’s early life are not elaborated it can be assumed that she was raised with the qualities from both her parents. Her father, Ahmad Rashad, was a great star in the American Football catapulted to the sports broadcasting industry.
Maiyisha Rashad mother Matilda Johnson, though was not much involved in her daughter’s career equally had the most significant impact in Maiyisha’s early life.
Any belief system, manner, experience or perception of the world which Maiyisha has, owes this to the parents. This year of exploration and finding out oneself would have been helpful in laying down the foundation for next course of action.
Career
Actually, it can be hardly found much information about Maiyisha Rashad’s career, and this also seems to be corresponding to the fact that Maiyisha Rashad appeared to have no special intentions to follow her father’s step and become involved into the entertainment industry actively.
Those kids who wish not to be in the public eye often get sufficient satisfaction working as writers, artists, musicians, etc., but they can stay unseen. If this is so for Maiyisha, she has probably learnt how to transform that into creative work that gives voice to the experiences and the view.
As for what we can infer is that whatever career choice Maiyisha has made, this choice has something to do with Maiyisha’s interests and values and not pressuring herself to follow her father’s footstep career choice. This is all rather courageous, even for a man who could have, you know, entered his family’s bank or some other big-time business.
About Parents: Ahmad Rashad, Matilda Johnson
Ahmad Rashad is the different name of Robert Earl Moore, the sports broadcaster and an ex-player of football. He also played football in NFL for St. Louis Cardinals, Buffalo Bills and presumably the most famous Minnesota Vikings.
Ahmad, however, joined the band of broadcasters as a sports anchor and analyst after his footballing career came to an end. His highly professional career and marriage to famous personalities such as actress Phylicia Rashad and SALE Johnson has ensured him the public limelight fame for decades now.
Maiyisha’s mother, Matilda Johnson has been much more reserved and was rarely exhibited in public. Unfortunately, there is not much that can be said about this woman, except for the fact that she was evidently involved in the raising of Maiyisha.
