  • According to the tweet, Palmer’s Maya is a 14-year-old activist and audiences are going to love her. Disney also shared a picture of the teenager.

Meet Maya:

  • Maya Leibowitz-Jenkins relentlessly marches to the beat of her own drum. She is extremely mature for her age and will not hesitate to shut anyone down with her blunt honesty and wisdom.  
  • The adopted daughter of mixed race parents, Maya is new to town, and initially disassociates herself from Penny and her crew because she is skeptical about what she perceives to be the superficiality of social cliques. However, Penny eventually gains her hard-earned respect and the two become good friends.
