Maia's Substack

Welcome!

Hi, I’m Maia. I like nostalgia, dad-jokes, and mornings. I can often be found listening to pedal steel guitar, taking a walk by a body of water, or trying and failing to remember my dreams from the night before.

These essays weave together reflections from my personal life and my often-shifting creative practices in dance, writing, and film.

Writing allows me to synthesize what can feel like disparate pieces of my patchwork life. It keeps me honest and hopeful about how I show up for myself and for my people.

Thanks for reading.
