Maya Anderson published a book, C.L.A.W.S., the prequel, at the age of 13. They have participated in organizations like the African American Policy Forum (AAPF) 2021 Young Scholars Program: Art, Activism, and Advocacy!, and Black Writers Collective, which taught them how to write authentically using intersectionality. They collaborated with a group, We Too Art!, and researched how art in predominantly black schools is taught and how black femme artists identify their craft. They also collaborated with Tamara D. Anderson in a multimodal project, “The Erasure of Black Women”, an article in Beautiful Experiments! Vol. 3, Issue 1. They recently graduated from Susquehanna University, where they majored in Creative Writing and Studio Art and studied Africana Studies. Most of their works consisted of poetry, fiction novels, art pieces, and multimedia pieces inspired by a variety of genres. They also run a business called Portraits by Maya, which commissions portraits. They say that their inspirations lie in the knowledge deserts, areas of BIPOC femme experience they wish to know about. It also lies in their racing mind. They are currently working on a few projects, like My Black Shadows of Chicago, My Family of Women, a C.L.A.W.S. serial, Rasta Riddium, Nick and Nails, and Spoon, against Knife and Fork.…Maya Anderson published a book, C.L.A.W.S., the prequel, at the age of 13.
