Maya Gonzalez is an award-winning children’s book artist, author, activist and progressive educator. Maya's work addresses systemic inequity in relation to race/ethnicity, sexism and cissexism using children’s books as radical agents of change and healing, both personally and culturally. Creator of the Gender Wheel, Maya has been teaching a nature-based, decolonized and holistic approach to body, gender, and relationship diversity for over 15 years across educational and community spaces. The approach synthesizes multiple modalities into trauma-informed practices that foster embodied self-awareness. Maya co-founded Reflection Press, a POC, queer and trans owned independent publisher grounded in holistic, nature-based, and anti-oppression frameworks.www.mayagonzalez.com | www.genderwheel.com | www.reflectionpress.com
