What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?

We wake up, get work, go back home and rinse and repeat – or at least it feels that way sometimes. In truth, there are a million moments in between where we interact with others and we can’t help but wonder what folks will think about us once we aren’t showing up, perhaps once we are gone. Some very thoughtful members of the community share their thoughts on this with us below.

Nyoka Adams

I hope people say I made life more beautiful, not just through what I created, but through how I showed up. That I turned my creativity into a calling, and my calling into something that served others. That I didn’t just build a brand, I built joy, community, and possibility. Read More>>

Patricia Sterling

I hope people say I lived with integrity, led with love, and poured beauty into the world, both through my work and in the way I treated others. That I made people feel seen, celebrated, and valued, that I loved making people happy, and that my creativity turned ordinary moments into unforgettable experiences. Read More>>

I want to make a positive impact and lasting impression on the athletes I get to work with. It is with hopes that they look back on their days as an athlete and our time together in the weight room, on the field, or on the court, and can say that they took those lessons, conversations and experiences into the real world with them.

Jimmy IV

That I was a man who led by example. Jimmy IV, a voice of strength, integrity, and positive energy. That I lived by old-school values, kept my word, and always showed up with a willingness to help others rise. That I believed in lifting people’s spirits, one VIBE at a time. Read More>>

Ashley Flowers

I hope the story people tell about me is simple but powerful: She came, she saw, she conquered—and most importantly, she uplifted others along the way. I want to be remembered not just for what I accomplished, but for how I showed up for others—for inspiring, teaching, and helping people grow on their own paths. Legacy, to me, is about impact, not just achievement. Read More>>

Jade Coiley

I want to be remembered as someone who had a lot of heart, who truly cared about all living beings, who put her all into her work, who always found the silver lining, and who helped others see their own greatness. Read More>>

Tania Ceasar

I hope people tell my story as one of victory—a life lived through the lens of an overcomer. It is only because I’ve been grafted into the family of overcomers through Jesus Christ that I’ve been given the strength to be a winner. A fighter. Someone who had no choice but to rise to the occasion. Read More>>

Dr. Eric Holmes

The story and legacy I would like to leave would be he lived, he inspired he uplifted and encouraged others. That I let my light shine for others to me. I made a difference and impact in the lives of others. Read More>>
