Welcome to West Coast Pages!

Writing, reading, living and loving as a settler on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples.

My name is Maya and this space actually started as a passion project while I worked through my Masters degree during covid.

I completed a Master’s in Education with an emphasis in Indigenous Education & Decolonization. This opened my eyes to the power of storytelling in educational contexts, and I re-discovered a love for reading I had long lost.

While researching for a project, I read that the majority of teachers avoid diversifying their bookshelves because they don’t know what books to read and they don’t have the time to research and prep for new things. If you fall under that umbrella, I’m here to help!

For the teachers: I create novel studies, book task cards, and other resources to help you bring new books by authors of the global majority into your learning spaces.

For the bookworms: I also post book reviews and reading journal questions for anyone to explore, if you’re rediscovering your love of reading along with me!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find a new book or two to bring into your reading spaces, wherever they may be.
