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.

Golden Mystique

In the burlesque community, our legends are the performers who were twirling, strutting, and making burlesque what it is today before I was even a thought. Miss Topsy, Satans Angel, Toni Elling, Tiffany Carter, Lottie the Body, Trina Parks, Josephine Baker, Velvet Ice, Viva LaFever, Marinka, are a few legends I admire and whose stories have become part of our documented burlesque history. Some of these legends have passed on, some retired, and some still performing! Read more>>

Natasha Boisseau

I would love to be known for my craft and giving nature. People will speak on how I have loved on not only their hair but their spirit as well. I care for every individual that sits in my chair. Their hair will be healthy and growing. Life will be breathed into them. I’m invited to family gatherings and kids birthdays! I hear about loved ones and things that happen in their lives. It is important for me to give people what I have felt I haven’t received in my life. That is support, genuine love and care along with their services! La Finesse Boutique is a safe space for all.

I hope my personal legacy is that I truly care about how others look and feel, I have 3 businesses and they all include making people feel better about themselves in some way. They’ll talk about how you changed lives, how you made people feel seen, valued, and confident during some of their difficult time.

I hope my legacy with Bella Bling is one that blends innovation, beauty, and healing in a way that challenges the traditional recovery experience. I want people to realize the impact is deeper than just aesthetics; it’s about confidence, and the emotional well-being of people in a vulnerable moment. I want people to understand the importance of Neuro aesthetics. Read more>>

The Legacy I Am Building

I want my legacy to be a beacon—a light for the dreamers, the outcasts, the ones who have been told their voices don’t matter. I want my words, my art, my music, and my designs to whisper to them in the dark: You are seen. You are powerful. You are possible.

Through storytelling, music, design, and film, I am creating a living archive of hope—a testament that impossible dreams are simply dreams waiting for the right hands to shape them into reality. My upcoming fantasy picture book, A Tale of Impossible Possibilities, is only the beginning. It is the genesis of my life’s work: to show others that the greatness they seek has always been within them Read more>>.

If I were to imagine a legacy, I’d hope to be remembered as someone who truly listened and cared. In terms of education, I’d want people to see me as someone who sparked curiosity and inspired others to always seek knowledge and growth. As a philanthropist, the hope would be to have made a tangible difference in people’s lives, whether through small acts of kindness or large-scale initiatives aimed at bettering the world. Read more>>
