She is so mature for her age. I am always shocked when she mentions her age. What she has achieved in her life is inspiring.

Plenty of WHITE ones. Her being a regular working class girl of half Somali background, its quite exceptional if you ask me. And she's a presenter of massive jobs at the age of 21. Sorry but that will always be impressive to me!
She's so advanced and mature for her age you'd think she was around 25/26 so bright.
I lost my older brother and my dad in the past 4 years and I've been going through a lot of shit and I'm still not where I wanna be in life but watching this made it feel better thank u Maya!!

How are u ? I hope things are better now...
I admire people who can be so transparent about what they’ve been through
I think maturity comes at any age! She's done well
What a wonderful insight into your life. Your honesty and intelligence makes you a truly amazing & beautiful young woman. Inspiring to the youth! The message is you CHOSE who and what you want to do and be, you don't have to do bad things. Bless You with good things Maya. Amen.
I believe that when youre just about to walk into the next chapter in life, god makes sure you gain the strength u need and you just so happen to experience some difficulty... this experience toughens you up and prepares you for the real world.
Perfect timing for me to watch this, I didn't know it but I needed this.. Thanks for speaking out Maya x

trapsoul Zayn i dont think so. maybe she dont believe any religion
Good for her but i wouldn't trade experiences with her; the JumpOff environment is a nightclub environment NOT appropriate for a teenager. I guess since she was exposed to a lot when she was young she could navigate that world of machismo and hypersexualisation of women. The reason why i assumed she was older than her years is also based on the way she dresses -or doesn't.
I love her but the way she moves and does that weird thing with her hand is annoying
