Her mother always made sure her daughters were aware of their background growing up. In her book, the attorney wrote:

“My mother understood very well she was raising two black daughters. She knew that her adopted homeland would see Maya and me as black girls, and she was determined to make sure we would grow into confident black women,”

The attorney is well aware of her Indian culture, and food and has also visited her grandparents in India. She tied the knot with Douglas Emhoff who too holds Indian and Jewish heritage.
