Maya Kaur

Maya Kaur writes for the women who were told to be silent and chose to speak anyway. After more than a decade in corporate strategy and finance, she returned to the page — and to herself. Her debut poetry collection, what we carry in silence: poems on love, loss, healing, and becoming, traces one woman's journey back to herself. Her novel, what brown girls carry, follows a young woman's path from Punjab, India to New York and the cost of choosing herself. Maya writes stories, poems, and essays at the intersection of wound and wisdom — for daughters choosing themselves.
