My name is Maya (she/her), and I am a first-generation, Caribbean-American born and raised in The Bronx. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had an interest for the Earth and her relationship to all life. And after nurturing that interest through activities such as: studying animal medicine at university, growing my own herbs and vegetables in my backyard, and living a more holistic life, I realized that I had laid the path to my purpose. I believe that to be born human, comes with an obligation to defend and protect the Earth and her natural resources and to educate others of her value, not only to humans but to all living beings.
In my spare time I enjoy language learning, (Spanish and my native language Kreyol), being a handy-woman and traveling. My hope for the future is to build community that can live in synergy with ouronly physical home.
