In our experience, talking about legacy is often subtly discouraged by society and we find this to be deeply unfortunate. Thinking about the legacy you would like to build can help you better align your work, life, time – your sweat and tears – with your values. Below, we’ve tried to create a space for folks to start conversations about they legacies they are hoping to build.
Caycee Roth
There are three things that me and my brand truly claim to uphold: empathy, life-long learning, and intention. These are my core-principles that I find to be the system with which I see, impact, and create in the world, and these are the principles that I aim to be remembered for as an artist and human.

My hope is to leave a story behind that will motivate anyone going through a tough time. From the bottom to the top, with guidance and humbleness. Dreams do come true, one should never stop trying until one reaches their goals. Read more>>
Kellie Batts
The legacy I hope to build is one rooted in faith, honesty, and real connection. I want people to say that I made them feel seen—that I listened without judgment, encouraged them to trust themselves, and reminded them that they already have what they need inside of them. Sometimes we just need someone to say, “Hey, you’re not crazy—you’re just figuring it out.” Read more>>
Rhonda Anita
When I think about the legacy I have been called to build, it’s not just about the titles, awards, or accolades—though I’m deeply honored by each one. It’s about the lives changed, the women restored, my two sons, my granddaughters and the generations shifted because one woman chose to rise from pain and turn it into purpose. Read more>>
Rennee Johnson
I aim to leave a legacy that resonates through the ages, inspiring countless generations. I hope to demonstrate that one’s beginnings do not dictate one’s future; rather, it is the choices we make and the resilience we show that truly shape our narratives. I want my story to serve as a powerful reminder that anyone can rise above their circumstances and create a meaningful life, full of purpose and impact. Read more>>
Cyrus Webb
I am really hoping my legacy is that I show people what is possible. I came from humble beginnings and have been able to build a business and brand based on my passions for only 22 years. My story is one of perseverance, determination and faith. I want others to look at my work and say that if Cyrus Webb could achieve what he has in life, then surely I can go after my own goals and dreams as well. Read more>>
Dani Burg
“I hope my legacy is the inclusive preschool I founded in 2018. It’s a place where all children—both typically developing and those with special needs—are welcomed, supported, and celebrated. We created a nature-based, Reggio Emilia-inspired environment where children have access to therapies like Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, and Pediatric Counseling right in their preschool day. But beyond the services, it’s about meeting children exactly where they are and giving them the tools to thrive—not just academically, but as whole people. My passion has always been to help kids realize their potential, and I hope the ripple effect of that work continues long after I’m gone.” Read more>>
Jacquie & Jake Prouty
We hope the legacy we build as resort owners—and as a family—extends far beyond cabins and bookings. We want our lives and our resort to be remembered as a place where people felt the peace and presence of Jesus. A place where families reconnected, laughter echoed through the trees, and people felt known, cared for, and deeply valued. Read more>>
Yoncé Wilson
I hope my legacy reflects that I led with love, creativity, and intention. I want to be remembered as someone who used what she had to create something meaningful, not just for herself, but for others. I want people to feel like I showed up fully, whether I was decorating a space or supporting someone I care about. Read more>>
Amber Lea Mitchell
I hope the legacy I leave behind is one of empowerment, community, and resilience. I want people to say that I created spaces where women could rise, where small towns could thrive, and where the next generation found the courage to dream bigger. Read more>>
Jamal Atkins
My hope is, I am able to build a legacy of service and progress through the connections and partnerships I have been blessed to share with like minded people around the world. I am not sure what people will say after I am gone but I hope the work I have been a part of will have lasting positive effect in both peoples lives and in their community through infrastructure repair & development and the creation of safe spaces for all. I hope people remember me most for my unwavering dedication to making the lives of the communities around me better daily and consistently. Read more>>
Ishmael Meza
I want my legacy to be filled by the positive influence and ethics I portray into my business dealings. I want to leave behind a pathway for people to recognize that they can also become successful in their own journey, despite how difficult or how long it takes to achieve success. I want people to recognize my (and some have already) my tenacity for achievement and passion for my artistry. Read more>>
Stephanie Hansen
I’ve always wondered what my story would be, and now I’ve never been so sure. Through my trauma experiences in my marriage, I see that there are so many women who are looking for a voice and a reason to choose themselves. I hope my legacy leaves women feeling empowered to stand up for themselves, others, and ignore all stereotypes that hinders their well being. I hope women can find their strength through my story. I don’t take it for granted that this can inspire others to be safe and well. Read more>>
Amaury Vazquez
Honestly, I haven’t really thought much about the legacy I want to leave behind—mostly because I’m just getting started in the content creation and management game. But that question definitely stuck with me. As I start building the foundation for my company, I want to make sure it’s aligned with the vision I have and where I want it to go. Read more>>
Darlene Gaston
I am blessed to have begun building my legacy in my thirties. My husband and I have two sons in their twenties, forming a legacy we hope will endure for generations. Beyond our family, my books are another cornerstone of my legacy. Like timeless literature or art, they capture my story, experiences, and wisdom, contributing to the historical record in written word. Read more>>
