Maya Kaabour started writing secretly in her taffy toned Barbie notebook at the age of eight. Since then, she explored the realms of poetry, prose, and most recently, humor essays. She aspires to be the next Tina Fey, David Sedaris, Charles Bukowski hybrid. Maya uses writing as a tool to delve deeper into her personal-narrative, to make sense of her past and the stories of those around her, becoming and unbecoming with every word. Writing is her medicine and healing. In her free time, she hosts events in Dubai where she invites strangers to look into each other’s eyes to connect over their shared humanness.
