My name is Maya and I’m 32 years old. My parents are both from Angola but I grew up in Germany. I’ve lived in Berlin since I was 2 years of age and German has become my mother tongue.

Unfortunately, I’ve never had the chance to learn Portuguese nor have I had the chance to visit my home country but I have hopes to do so soon. I was raised very strictly by my mother and religion and the belief in God played a very important role in my upbringing. I am a very shy girl and I’m continually working on my self-confidence.
