The Matrium of Matriarchē

Aloha Beloveds,
My name is Ama Diya, and my work centers on a new form of documentary filmmaking I call Cosmogenic Autoethnography, a method where dream-based scholarship, land, and ceremony guide the inquiry. Through the guidance of the primordial Mothers of Memory, I explore how planetary rupture & spiritual severance manifest as whiteness & white supremacy, and how these distortions can be healed through remembrance. I also examine and share ways for people to reconnect with their lineage Mothers. These are the ancestral, cosmogenic, and earth-rooted Mothers whose memory predates colonization, patriarchy, and displacement. 

My doctoral project (Fielding Graduate University) is an Indigenous Autoethnographic documentary that explores this very topic.

I am a spiritual midwife, sacred dancer, and carrier of Wombsource memory.
