They are pursuing a career in behavioral services and plan to get their master’s in applied behavior analysis to work with autistic children and prepare them for success.
MT Fire
MT Fire (Maya the Fire) was created because my rising sign is a Leo and amongst the four elements, Leos are fire signs. Fire signs usually bring a lot of heart, passion, and energy into whatever room they enter. I want to bring that fiery passion to the Hip Hop Time Capsule. So get ready cause it’s MT Fire comin’ at you hot.
