#01. Maya has been to ComiCon 12 years in a row. She is also a queer South Asian former professional golfer, LGBTQ+ athlete activist, and founder of the Queer Asian Social Club. At Claremont McKenna College, Maya was a three-time NCAA All American, then in 2015 turned professional and played on the Cactus and National Women’s Golf Association Tours and gained status on the Symetra Tour before having to take a step back from the sport due to its exclusive culture and the many harmful bigoted experiences she endured, as a result of that culture – experiences only deepened by the lack of visibility of queer athletes in the sport. However, Maya focused her pain in fighting for and becoming an advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusive policies in sports, working closely with organizations like Athlete Ally. She shares with us her journey with therapy, with PTSD, and how she fell back in love with this game. We think Maya is amazing. We think you will too. #MindYourGolf
