My name is Maya Francis, however if you would like, you're welcome to call me Maya J. Simply put, I loveee God and because of that, I loveee His people. It is my desire to exemplify His heart with whomever I have the opportunity to meet. For years I didn't understand why I was so "different" but over the years God has revealed the intentionality behind what makes me, well me. And for that I am grateful. 

​

Since I could remember, my life has been centered around serving others, with that, it brings me great joy to utilize the gifts He has given me to come alongside my brothers and sisters in Christ to instruct, empower, and live out the Great Commission through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 

​

When I’m not with my Bold Move family, you can find me advocating for my community to no longer survive but thrive. As a proud native and resident of Jacksonville, Florida I’m deeply connected to my roots in the city’s urban core. Hence the birth of Legacy Building Collective, LLC, an organization with a mission to empower communities and organizations through strategic consulting, community-driven initiatives, and sustainable real estate development, leaving a lasting impact for future generations.

​

To get the formalities out the way, I am a forever learner and am grateful for the institutions that challenged me.
