Meet Nachelle Mac | Believer in God, follower of Christ, multifaceted, model, aspiring actress, and entrepreneur.

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nachelle Mac and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nachelle, Let’s talk about principles and values – what matters to you most?
The values and principle that matter most to me are integrity and authenticity, which are closely connected.
* Integrity means staying true to my values, being honest, and doing what’s right even when it’s hard or no one is watching. It’s essential for building trust in any relationship, personal or professional.
* Authenticity is about being real, showing up as my true self, and being honest with both myself and others, even when it’s vulnerable or uncomfortable.
Together, they guide me toward a life that’s genuine, meaningful, and rooted in trust. Integrity ensures my actions align with my true self, while authenticity makes sure my actions reflect my genuine beliefs and feelings. Without either, the other feels incomplete.

As far as principle: Phil 4:13 KJV
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Knowing that I don’t have to rely on my own limited wisdom, strength, or abilities is incredibly freeing. Instead, I can lean on the infinite power and guidance of God. This understanding lifts any burden and fills me with peace, knowing I don’t have to face challenges alone. It’s a constant reminder that, with God’s strength, anything is possible.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
As a Christian plus-size model, aspiring actress and multifaceted individual, my journey is about much more than just the glamorous side of the industry. It’s about embracing who God made me to be and using my platform to reflect His love, grace, and purpose. In a world that often pushes a narrow definition of beauty, I’m proud to stand as a representation of diversity and self-love, knowing that I am fearfully and wonderfully made in God’s image.

Being in this industry isn’t always easy, due to pressure to fit into certain molds or expectations. As a woman of faith, securing the right opportunities requires prayerful strategy and discernment, trusting God’s guidance in every step. But I’ve learned that my worth isn’t defined by the standards of the world—it’s defined by God’s love and the unique qualities He’s given me. My goal is to open doors for others and create a brand that reflects this truth: that beauty isn’t one size, shape, or look—it’s about embracing who we are in every form, and walking confidently in our purpose. My time will come- until then I’m preparing for when it does.

Work-life balance is something I’ve had to learn over time. The modeling and acting world can be demanding, but I know that staying rooted in my faith and keeping my priorities in line is key to maintaining my peace and focus. I don’t want to just be successful—I want to live a life that’s aligned with my values and one that reflects the light of Christ in everything I do. This means keeping my relationship with God first, making time for my family, and myself, even amidst the hustle.

I believe that when you model with purpose—especially with God at the center of everything—you not only break barriers but also inspire others to embrace their own beauty and worth. It’s my prayer that my journey encourages others to find their confidence in Christ, to embrace their unique story, and to always live with purpose.”

A special thank you to Angela Stikks Adams, the founder of the Christian Models Association, of which I am proud to be a member. She honored me with my first feature in Model With Purpose Magazine. Stikks has given great guidance and direction on this unique journey.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
While I can’t say they are all my favorite because I haven’t had the chance to visit them all yet, these places come highly recommended and offer a variety of unique dining experiences, are fun, interesting and worth checking out.

Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, Georgia Aquarium, Zoo Atlanta, World of Coca Cola, Atlanta Botanical Garden. The eats: Bahel Ethiopian Restaurant, Red Rice Restaurant, Chiccas Birria, Southern Queens and The Yard House MidTown: Truffled Mushroom Pizza and the Lemon Pepper Wings are recommended. The Moscow Mule Mocktail (non-alch) was amazing!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
A Dedicated Shoutout to God:

I just want to take a moment to give all the glory, honor, and praise to God, who has been my rock, my guide, and my strength. Thank You, Lord, for shaping me into the person I am today. Through every challenge, every triumph, every joy, and every struggle, You’ve been there, molding my character and pushing me forward.

I am who I am because of Your grace and mercy. When I couldn’t see the way, You lit the path. When I felt weak, You were my strength. And when I thought I couldn’t go any further, You carried me through. Your love, Your wisdom, and Your unwavering faithfulness are the reasons I stand tall today.
I am grateful for Your presence in my life and the way You continually work in and through me. I will forever give You the praise for all that I’ve overcome and all that I’m becoming. You are the author of my story, and I am humbled and thankful for Your divine plan.
Thank You, God, for the Holy Ghost, making me who I am and for bringing me through it all. I trust You with my future, knowing that with You going before me and being with me (Deut 31:8) I will continue to grow and thrive. To You be the glory, now and forever. In Jesus Christ Holy Name – Amen.

I thank God for my family that has prayed for me, supported me, held me when I cried, shouted and praised. I have tremendous appreciation for their never ending love, wisdom, motivation and kind words. Oh and thank you so much for listening to all my business ideas and brainstorming into the wee hours of the night! Lastly but not at all least, I’m thankful for my Apostle and Spiritual family. God’s infinite blessings unto you all! I love you forever!
