Maya Jama is today announcing the return and expansion of her mentorship programme, created to help women from under-represented backgrounds break into the creative industries through direct access to some of the UK’s leading female talent and business leaders.
Following the success of its inaugural year, the six-month initiative will once again connect emerging creatives with accomplished mentors from Maya’s professional network, providing career guidance, industry insight and invaluable access to opportunities across nine creative sectors. Developed by Maya in partnership with Creative Access, the programme reflects her ongoing commitment to opening doors for the next generation of creative talent.
Running from September 2026 to March 2027, the programme will support eleven women pursuing careers across talent management, branding and communications, PR, photography, entrepreneurship, broadcasting and comedy, television production, theatre production and music.
Maya has brought together an exceptional group of mentors spanning entertainment, media, culture, business and global brands, including senior leaders from Nike, Diageo, Coty and more.
Applications open on 1st July 2026 and close on 14 July 2026 at 11.59pm. For more information and to apply, visit HERE.
