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.

Ifelolorun Amanda Shittu

I hope my legacy will be that I was able to help thousands of people build generational wealth from the little they have and also that I brought a lot of people up, gave them platforms to shine their lights rather than try to kill it. Read More>>

Jackie Silva

The legacy that I am hoping to build is that I will rise by lifting others. There is much more but, it is deeper than I can fully express in words. I am a strong believer of treating others with respect, being a person of my word, and standing up for what is right and pointing out the wrong. Being kind and a genuine person without angles, and supporting others expecting nothing in return and to refrain from all negativity. Read More>>

The legacy I want to leave behind is that of someone who honored their craft, valued their customers, and, most importantly, made a meaningful impact through every interaction as a business owner. Read More>>

I have practiced acupuncture for 7 years now, in 5 different offices, the last of which is the healing center my husband and I opened in Westminster, MD. We recently celebrated the one year anniversary of opening our space, and I am so grateful for the chance to have SPACE to call my own, to fill with my own ideas and energy, to stand for what I value most. In this short time practicing, I have noticed a shift in the way I view my role in my patient’s lives. Read More>>

The most influential quote that I live by is “This is the story that I will one day tell my children. The harder it is, the bigger the dragon, the more epic the story and, by consequence, the more epic the hero.” I’ve always been a huge superhero nerd and I’ve always been so grateful of the creation of Spiderman because of the impact that. the thought of superheroes have.

When I think about the legacy I want to leave, it’s not just about my businesses or the projects I’ve poured my heart into—it’s about the story I’m telling through my life. I want my two businesses, Christa and the City and The Pink Balloon Creative Studio, to stand as proof that passion and purpose can create something not just successful but also sustainable.

Theres Porter

A legacy is definitely not anything I had considered or even thought of previously. In the corporate world, It was all about the grind! Getting as much work done as possible and waiting for the next weekend to come around. I, like so many, was caught in the hamster wheel of the corporate world hustle. Read More>>

Cindy Wright

One of the reasons I left my full time “grown up” job two years ago was because I had a desire to do work that was meaningful to me. Unfortunately, sitting at a desk for 8 hours catering to the whims of those who made twice as much as I did every week just wasn’t it. Read More>>
