"Lotus of Lapland: The Material & Spiritual Life of Ullamaya Ma" (working title) is the upcoming memoir of Ulla-Maija Kivimäki, an artist and creator, industrious immigrant, accomplished designer in the fashion industry, yogi, music producer, musician and tech guru. The book is a timely and revealing story of a life of a woman with big dreams. She grew up poor, free, creative, independent and adventurous in Lapland, Finland, the land of pristine nature and equality. After a decade of studies around the world, she settled in New York, and after many years of struggle, made it big in the treacherous world of international fashion and luxury, only to have everything she owned taken from her at the height of her success, including her livelihood, business, name and reputation. Broke, broken, on her knees, persecuted for opposing abuse, financial wrongdoing and crime, and traumatized for lack of justice, she was forced on an intense inward journey of transformation to learn to see from a bigger perspective, to find her higher Self, and to realize the purpose of her life.
