Maia Brown-Jackson is a symphony of papercuts, banged-up knees, and stubborn determination. She believes in the altruism of strangers, the power of direct action, and the Oxford comma. Her work has taken her everywhere from art galleries and museums to a nonproliferation nonprofit to the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction. In her spare time, she volunteers with a Yazidi NGO, the Yuva Organization for Children’s Rights. She currently resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the U.S.
