COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP
MAYIA WARREN also leverages her skillset as an artist in the realm of community advocacy and service.

As an award winning disability advocate, she is a sought after speaker and mentor in the broader community at large. Her background and expertise in service is not just relegated to the two arenas as her key focus is strategic collaborations with churches, youth initiatives, non profits, collaboratives, businesses and community partners to maximize impact. One of the key areas she facilitates with these entities is brand storytelling through social media and community outreach mentorship.
