Legacies help us with our goals after we’ve passed because they have the power to inspire action and the give our ideals an chance to live on through others. Given the magical potential of legacies, we wanted to support and foster conversations around legacy building and below you’ll find some of those conversations.

Alejandro Russo

I want to create a brand that’s decades into the future yet still rings true to Latin culture. Just as Nike is synonymous with the athletically daring, we want people to look back at Candela as an iconic Latin brand that reigns authentic in its values and culture. Read more>>

Olivia LeDonne

I hope to change some parts of the industry, to change the industry in Boston as well. I want to bring more attention to the talent we have here and not feeling like you need to move to New York or LA to be seen. That’s not always possible for people sometimes people with the most talent and usually are the ones who give up, I want to change that feeling for people and connect them to the right resources and people to help their dreams come true.

Omoniola Oladimeji

As a content creator and business woman, I wishes to leave a legacy that focuses on generational wealth for my underprivileged community. Which ultimately means using my skills and expertise to help others build a better future for themselves and their families. Read more>>

Whitley Kels

I hope my legacy is to be an inspiration to anybody who took a leap of faith and creating a safe environment for others to be themselves. Exercising is a great outlet for anybody, and a great field to work in. Read more>>

Brett Glover

I hope my legacy (and the legacy of our shop) will be that everyone is welcome, everyone can just be! There’s always common ground to be found! Whether I agree with that person or not, I always want them to NOT feel like an outsider… and to know that our gifts are STRENGTHS that are meant to compliment each other! Each of us has something to contribute, and as someone who was constantly left out, I understand how awful it is to be in that place! Read more>>

Darius King

I want my legacy to be inspiring. I want to continue to inspire and touch the lives of people I haven’t even met yet, and even the people I have met. I want to be the example of what not giving up looks like! I want to leave an iconic taste in everyone’s mouth! You have your Beyoncé, your Martin Luther King jr, and now you have Darius King!

Jeremy Hemsley, Egypt Bailey N/A

Egypt Bailey – Firstly, I pray that my legacy is one that is continued to be revealed, guided, and lead the right way by God. I hope my legacy will be showing that it’s ok to do things that are far away from the norm and very much possible. My legacy will be leading with honesty, showing up for myself each day, and having the eyes to see and ears to listen when it comes to being here to serve the way I’m supposed to. Read more>>

Martha Garcia

have been labeled my entire life as the underdog who doesn’t believe she is. My path to the present has been a slow and hard one to walk. As an immigrant and a woman of Mexican origins, the road to becoming a chef has been full of glory and defeat. Read more>>

Lissa Brunan

Legacy is a big word. My entire life has been dedicated to teaching and helping others. I love seeing people learn, so even when I left the classroom, my passion for teaching never left. I spent the next 3 years working for companies to help teach teachers, then transitioned into a role specifically focused on professional development for educators. Read more>>

KA ZARR Coleman

For me being granted the freedom to openly express my creative thoughts, visions and aspirations and see it all come to into reality before with my follower, family and friends is the American Dream. One of our greatest gifts is our passions and the ability to chase them full speed if we chose to. My greatest reward will come not while I’m here, but in the minds, hearts and memories of those whom I’ve been privileged to touch in my lifetime. Read more>>

Heather Peppers

I hope my legacy will be my love for photography. For me, it’s not just taking pictures, I’m stopping time. Read more>>

Ashley Moore

This is such a loaded question, but the ultimate answer is that my life, no matter what I was doing, was pointing people to Jesus. Read more>>

Lauren Harris

What I hope my legacy will be? I hope my legacy will be passed down for generations to come in my family. I want my children’s grand children to be able to still have a harvest from the seeds i’ve planted and to still be able to have the resources and knowledge to create more! I am creating a brand that I believe is bigger than me! Read more>>

Keeda Kollins

So were talking about leaving a legacy behind for the future of my life and the future of my children’s lives. When I think about my legacy I often ask myself what type of legacy do i want to leave behind, is everything going to even fall into place from what I would like things to because as we all know life changes in so many dramatic ways through out our lives.

Sarah Head

My hope is that with each picture taken, I am able to capture the memories of my client. I feel it is very important to be able to look back at photos through the years and have the emotions come through. Photography makes everything stand still and if I can capture that, then my legacy actually becomes YOUR legacy. I am excited to share these very important moments that will carry on for generations.

Rusudan Khizanishvili
