When we go on short trips we often know exactly what we expect at the end, but when it comes to our lives and careers we’ve seen far too often we shy away from really thinking through where we expect to be at the end and what we hope our legacy will be. So, we wanted to encourage conversations on the topic of legacy and you’ll find highlights from our conversation from some wonderful members of the business and creative community below.

Jonathon Davis

I am still in the process of figuring out what kind of legacy I want to leave behind in this world. One thing that I would like people to know about me is that I did not follow the conventional path in life. Read more>>

Dominique Bivens

The legacy I aspire to build centers around uplifting those around me, breaking generational curses, and ensuring financial freedom for my family. I hope people will remember me as a loving, caring, and genuine individual who consistently uplifted others during challenging times. Read more>>

Mariah Grumet

My mission is to bring an intentional sparkle back to the lost art of etiquette, and my hope is that legacy continues to live on after I’m gone. I hope that my work creates a domino effect legacy- I hope my work makes people feel confident enough to truly shine their light and by doing so they inspire others to shine their light too.

Nader Safinya

I want people to love their jobs. I want to build programs to create cool opportunities so everyone can leverage what they love and make a living doing it. I want people to say, “Nader Safinya is why the sayings ‘live to work, and work to live’ don’t exist anymore—life and work have harmonized.” Read more>>

Jenny Chicoye

Something I would hope to be remembered for is how I showed compassion in various aspects of my life. Compassion for people, for the planet/environment, for animals and for yourself. Read more>>

J Keena

I hope I can leave a legacy of living a life of balance. Obviously that’s more idealistic than realistic, especialy as a entrepreneur, business owner, and father haha, but as a whole I hope reflecting on my life it shows I didn’t forget to balance out the hustle parts and the chill parts.

Jess Wright

I hope to leave a trail of kindness when I go. Specifically, I hope that my memory is lived out in the kindness of others. I think that kindness is powerful, constructive, loving, and supportive – something that can change anyone’s life even in fleeting doses. Read more>>

Sofia Katherine

My visual art I have created for so many amazing humans in all parts of their life will remain alive I hope for many lifetimes past my time here on earth. Life on earth is complex and beautiful and I push myself (sometimes too hard) to always innovate and keep showing everyone life experiences in ways they haven’t seen yet. Read more>>

Megan Burrows

Believe it or not, I’m pretty risk-averse so starting a business wasn’t at the top of my bucket list. In fact, it wasn’t really on my radar at all, until I became a remote worker in the pandemic. Read more>>

Oliver Quartly

In the realm of photojournalism, I aspire to capture images that evoke emotions, raise awareness, and ultimately inspire positive change. I hope that through my photos, I can shed light on important social issues, amplify the voices of marginalized communities, and hold those in power accountable for their actions. Read more>>

Ashley Nicole

I have learned over time that a good name is rather to be had than great riches. For a long time, I used to pray for both and close out my prayer with, “Never the less, Lord, your will be done.” Read more>>

Cynthia Shaw

Legacy can be defined by money left or personal property left to love ones. To me legacy means the impact of someone’s life that is left for generations to come. Read more>>

Lexee Love

I would love to leave a legacy of I accomplished what I love to do. Being a great mother first. That my children remember how much I love them and sacrificed for them. Read more>>

Diane Davis

I am a renaissance woman. When I was in school, my teachers, except one, labeled me as a girl they couldn’t encourage. At home, I was picked on by my siblings and suffered abuse from my parents. Read more>>
