About mav
Mav (Age 9, Grade 4) Presidential Campaign Speech:
“Everyone scoot up an inch.” The elementary school kids, packed in and sitting cross-legged on the cafeteria floor, scoot forward.
“Now everyone scoot back an inch.” The kids scoot back.
“I just got you to clean the cafeteria floor in less than a minute. Imagine what I could do with you in a year. Vote for Mav.”
She won. Duh.
Mav has featured for Whitney Cummings (HBO, Netflix), performed on the Margaret Cho Show at the Largo in Los Angeles, featured for comedian Ian Harvie (Amazon, Netflix) and headlined all over the country.
In addition to writing and performing, Mav has a long history of working with homeless youth in Los Angeles providing support and connection to services like therapy, housing, and medical care. In 2018, the Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney in Virginia Beach, VA awarded Mav the Outstanding Contribution in the Fight Against Crime. Her work with the Commonwealth Attorney’s office not only secured the conviction of the criminal who assaulted her, but brought to light a gap in the case law regarding victims of sexual assault. This resulted in the Court of Appeals publishing new case law stating that, now under the law, “intimidation” and “emotional dominance” exerted by the defendant satisfies a conviction, making it (hopefully!) less intimidating for victims to come forward.
All in all, Mav is a badass, gender-bending goofball with a passion for standup, telling it like it is, social justice, and making people laugh.
