I'm Aby Maye, a Paris-Dakar based artist, poet, writer and storyteller who has collaborated with teams in New York over the past three years. I’m driven by creativity and energy, and I’m always looking to get the best out of every situation and person I work with. I’ve lived and worked across Paris, Dakar, and New York, and I bring joy and a wide range of skills to every project. With more than 30 years in the performing arts and writing, I’ve worn many hats—actor, poet, ghostwriter, photographer, storyteller, and mentor. I love turning ideas into stories for theatre, film, photography, and digital training, and I enjoy mentoring students and building joyful, energizing communities around creative work.
