Hi Maya,

I recently received this newsletter and thought of your video work. I will post more details in the blog. Just thought I'd pass it along.

Maya,

After I watched your videos Latin Role Model and Video Reel, I found myself intrigued as to your motivations for putting together such powerful performances.

Traveling through your websites and resume, I was at first confused and then relieved to see I was reading about one person! I actually needed to stop reading your blogs so I can get going with my day!!! :)

As an educator and person of mixed heritage myself, I just wanted to tell you... your sharing of your personal complexity is much appreciated. I would hope that you are finding many people in your life who are able to a learn from your work and passionate drive. (I think you have!) But more importantly, that you are able to take pride in the fact that your ability to communicate with others through your art is strong and resonates.

Keep creating and many blessings to you along the way, what a wonderful journey.

Maya, have always enjoyed your videos. I think what you are doing with stereotypes really puts it out there in your face.
