Nourish All to Feel Whole

Maya Jasmin (DJ LILICAY) has a wide range of professional pursuits that include DJing, acting, and photography. She says it’s only when she can nourish her multiple interests simultaneously that she starts to feel complete. Her versatility extends to the languages she speaks: English, German, Japanese, Polish, and Korean. The emphasis on variety started in her childhood home, where her Japanese mother and Polish father made sure she was exposed to many cultures.
