Resumo: African-based religions in the diaspora were subjected to different fronts of violence, characteristic of colonial processes. First, making the interface with religion, we bring the experiences of the mãe de santo, approaching the way in which these women were and are fundamental for the formulation of survival strategies, pointing to the terreiro as a place of knowledge production, in addition to tracing other ways of thinking about gender, bringing transatlantic imaginaries and references of belonging: the mother of saints is the great institution, erecting pillars that cross motherhood, religiosity and community. Experience as a criterion of meaning takes into account Afrocentric paradigms that surround these practices, and the mãe de santo reveal a crossroads of knowledge around issues that transform social dynamics, extolling imaginary repertoires of the black female in Afro-Brazilian cults, where by means of ancient practices help us to understand how they organized themselves to safeguard knowledge, mobilize communities and generate women's networks of protection based on religion. This work is an invitation to think about articulations, the exercise of parenting and african matriarchy, expanding knowledge of the presence of women in rituals and a series of cosmoperceptions that over time were, in a way, made invisible. Then, we access the story of Mãe Rita Tassytaôô, who announced her commitment to the spiritual trajectory from an early age, articulating worlds and belongings in decades of experience as a mother of saints, a trajectory marked by autonomy and different ancestral forces.
