Especially as a Black woman, to be part of thein L.A., which was amazing to share with her.”And a very proud moment for mom too, seeing how far her daughter has come in a changing industry.“Back in the day you had fewer opportunities as a Black stunt woman than you do now,” Macatumpag explained.
As fearless as Maya is when it comes to stunts, there’s at least one her mom did that she may be hesitant to try. “The one where she jumps off a bridge. I don’t think I would aspire to do that,” laughed Macatumpag-Murray.“Well I’d probably do it all, but probably not as well,” Macatumpag said. “Her level of fighting is at another level.”
