Holding a Bachelor's Degree in TV and Film and an Associate's Degree in Physical Geography, Day brings both a cinematic eye and a deep connection to the natural world to her craft. Her films sit at the intersection of land and identity, weaving together the spiritual and the cultural to create work that is as grounded as it is visionary.

Through her lens, she is carving out space in the film industry for realistic, fully realized brown female narratives that have long deserved a light.
