Maya founded She Dreams when she was in middle school. She Dreams strives to bring education to disadvantaged girls. Having benefited from the power of learning, she wanted everyone, who is more fortunate, to share and further the power of learning. She and the invited authors blog the need of educating underprivileged girls and its positive impact. Maya also aspires to engage kids and young adults to advocate for all girls through events and fundraisers.

Since Maya was a third grader, she grew various succulents and sold them as container gardens. Now, all the proceeds from the business go to charities that support education of underprivileged girls.
