Maya Miller is a writer, editor, and artist. A recent graduate of Oberlin College, Maya is the recipient of a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship and a Fulbright.
Maya’s writing has been published in Electric Literature, Diagram, Chicago Literary Review, Thin Air, Cleaver, and Sierra Nevada Review. She is an editor of (and contributor to) the book, Salt and Honey: Jewish Teens on Feminism, Tradition and Becoming Ourselves (Behrman House Publishers).
On the film front, Maya's award-winning short, The Debater, premiered at the Maui Film Festival in the fall of 2021. And her short story, Trudie’s Goose, which was adapted to film by award-winning Israeli filmmaker, Liran Kapel, was a finalist in the 2020 Cannes Film Festival American Pavilions Filmmaker Showcase.
Founding and curating the traveling exhibition and tolerance education series Trudie Strobel: A Life In Tapestry has been one of the greatest joys and most rewarding learning experiences of Maya's life.
Lila Dworsky-Hickey is a writer and filmmaker. A recent graduate of Occidental College, she dedicated much of her academic and creative focus in the Media Arts and Culture department to understanding the systems that shape non-fiction media and interrogating the way we tell real stories creatively and responsibly, both through the study of documentary history and theory and the production of her own work.
Now, alongside her documentary work, she is beginning the process of pursuing a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. Steeping herself in a new but deeply connected chapter, she looks forward to the ways the two paths will inform and nourish each other.
Curating “A Life in Tapestry” remains one of the most meaningful and transformative experiences of Lila’s life.
