Using fashion as a form of self expression is one of the main topics in part 2 of Maya’s interview with Mia and Lila.

She emphasizes the importance of community support, including her family and friends, in helping her embrace her stutter and advocate for others. Other topics include advocating for disabilities, the power of sharing personal stories, and the power of fashion being a vehicle for social change. Mia highlights the need for inclusivity and accessibility in the fashion industry and how fashion designers can contribute to solving these challenges.
