Maia Brown-Jackson

Maia Brown-Jackson A born and bred New Yorker, Maia Brown-Jackson made the pragmatic decision to study literature at the University of Chicago, which was naturally followed by a series of odd jobs in galleries and coffee shops and art museums, until she strayed to ISIS-occupied Iraq to work with Yazidi survivors of genocide. This life-changing experience motivated her to attend graduate school to study terrorism and human rights. Maia now investigates fraud and Taliban interventions in humanitarian aid meant for the people of Afghanistan. She recently published a poetry collection: And My Blood Sang.
