You've Tried Everything. Nothing Was Built for You.
- You've started again on Monday more times than you can count
- You've been told to cut the foods you grew up on to see results
- You dread the comments about your weight at family gatherings
- You know what to do, but life, work and family keep getting in the way
- You feel like you're the problem, when really the plan was never made for you
If you nodded along to even one of these, the CCC was built for you.
A Community for Cultural Women
It's time women like us were seen and heard in fitness. The CCC is here to educate you, keep you motivated and give you the support to get lifestyle and physique results that actually last, without leaving your culture behind.
Seen. Heard. Understood.
The F.R.E.E Method.
The four pillars behind every result inside Mentored by Maya, now brought to the CCC. Nutrition, mindset, movement and health, built around your culture rather than against it.
Food Freedom
Your cultural food was never the problem. Learn how to keep the jollof, the curry, the rice and peas and the Sunday cook up while still seeing results. We teach you how to adapt your dishes through oil, portions and cooking method, so you stop cutting foods out and start making them fit.
Reframing the Mind
Break the start on Monday cycle for good. We work through the all or nothing thinking, the food guilt, the family comments and the pressure to look a certain way, so you can restart without shame, speak to yourself with compassion and build habits that actually last.
Exercise Empowerment
Movement as medicine, not punishment. No hours of cardio and no training six days a week. Just strength focused sessions that fit around your work, your family and your social life, so exercise becomes something that gives you energy and confidence instead of something you dread.
Evidence Based Health
Facts over feelings. Understand how your body really works, from sleep, stress and digestion to your cycle, PCOS, endometriosis and menopause. Track the right things, understand realistic progress and make decisions based on evidence rather than what the internet or your aunties tell you.
What's Included Inside the CCC Membership
Everything Maya has built to help you lose weight, feel confident and stay connected to your culture, all in one place.
The CCC Education Library
Lifetime access to education across all four pillars of the F.R.E.E Method: nutrition, movement, mindset and health. Learn how to make your cultural foods fit, train in a way that suits your life, and understand your body, at your own pace and forever yours.
Weekly Live Q&As with Maya
Bring your questions every single week. The wedding coming up, the plateau, your cycle, what to order at your auntie's house. Get real answers from Maya, live, so you never feel stuck on your own.
Community Challenges
Regular challenges built to break the start on Monday cycle. Small, realistic goals you work through together with the group, so consistency feels doable and progress actually sticks.

Live Workshops & Events
Online events throughout the year that go deeper into the topics our members ask about most, from cultural celebrations and festive seasons to female health and confidence.

Exclusive sessions with special guests from across health, wellness and culture. Hear from experts who bring fresh perspectives and answer your questions directly inside the community.
Maya
Founder & Head Mentor
Built by a Woman Who Lived Between Two Cultures
Maya is a cultural lifestyle coach and the founder of Mentored by Maya. Growing up between Nigerian and British identities, she spent years in fitness spaces that only recognised one version of healthy, and watched women like her feel unseen, unheard and like they were failing. So she built the CCC to give them what the fitness industry never did: a way to lose weight, build confidence and improve their health without leaving their culture behind.
“Your culture was never the problem. The system was just never built with you in mind. Inside the CCC, you don't have to choose between your food, your family and your health. You get to keep all three.”
Maya Orjiekwe, Founder of Mentored by Maya and the CCC
