Trivia

Maya Hussein is an incredibly talented comedian, content creator, and influencer based in Ontario, Canada, whose rise to fame coincided with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. Leveraging her knack for humor and a deep understanding of social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, Maya quickly garnered the attention of millions worldwide with her comedic videos.

One of Maya’s most notable collaborations has been with Tahinis Shawarma, a restaurant based in London, Ontario1. Together, they’ve concocted a recipe for success by blending humor and delicious food in engaging skits that showcase Tahinis’ brand in a unique and creative light. Maya also employs the use of religious stereotypes in her comedic skits2, poking fun at some of the things ‘Arab parents’ usually do to and for their kids.

Something that I have noted while researching her is her love for advocating for human rights, especially in the wake of war. She usually posts her uncensored opinions on her Instagram page in addition to her comedy content. However, this is not to take away from her impressive work in making people laugh. Some of her latest videos make fun of “How guys in Lebanon flirt with girls in the village”, “When you tell your Arab parents you’re invited out,” and also comparisons between Non-Arab and Arab tendencies. Her content serves the global Arab community largely but also extends to other ethnicities, as she makes her content in both Arabic and English, and when it’s in Arabic, she’s kind enough to allow us English speakers to include comprehensive subtitles.

Her page is quite interesting, if you ask me, because it gives us a glimpse into Arab culture, cuisines, and ways of life, while still including a funny and entertaining side. Who doesn’t love a good old culture/comedy tour? 

This partnership has not only entertained audiences but also propelled Maya to meteoric growth, boasting over 1.3 million followers on TikTok and over 221,000 subscribers on YouTube3. In addition, she also has a large Instagram following of over 496,000 followers.

Personal Life

Maya comes from a predominantly Muslim family and is very close to her parents whom she has vocally thanked for supporting her through her content creation journey. She has a brother named Barhomi. She was born and raised in Canada but is very well-versed in her Lebanese origins, which she is very vocal about in support of.
