What happens when you forge your own path
Maya Vassallo di Florio was born into a family of doctors and dentists, and it was assumed by everyone around her that she’d follow in the footsteps of her family. Her parents were shocked when she declared that she wanted to study journalism, even more shocked when she moved on to drama, and completely alarmed when she became a priestess and temple keeper. Maya, however, always single-mindedly forged her own path, and after years of fighting for recognition, she’s become a respected speaker, author and mentor of sacred sexuality.
