Yall, I need a new name so I don't get into legal trouble, lol. The Legacy Keepers was my original name but is trademarked by someone that could come get us down the line.

Why I loved it:
It spoke to legacy.
It made us a "tribe."
It was aspirational
It rolled off my tongue
Had good energy

I already used ChatGPT, but I'm not getting the same emotion. Yall have any other name suggestions?!?!

Our new class starts December 3rd and I need to change up our logo and handouts and such ASAP for the new elders writing their books.

I trust that I make good decisions.

Do you ever wonder who will tell your family's story after you're gone? Or maybe there are stories from your parents, grandparents—even great-grandparents—that you've always wanted to capture but never knew where to start?

If you’ve felt that pull, this is your moment. Imagine the impact of leaving a legacy that doesn't fade, but instead grows richer with each passing generation. Your family’s memories, wisdom, and values preserved, not just in passing stories, but in a way that can be held, read, and cherished.

Join our FREE Legacy Writing Webinar to discover how YOU can make this a reality!

In this session, you’ll learn:

A simple, step-by-step method to capture your own story or your family’s story, even if you're not a writer.
Key questions and memory triggers to unlock powerful, heartfelt memories.

Practical strategies to organize memories into an autobiography, memoir, or keepsake book that future generations will treasure.
It’s more than a book—it’s a legacy.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about making sure your family’s unique journey is recorded and celebrated. Whether you’re just starting or have been wanting to write for years, this webinar will guide you through each step.

Reserve your spot today, and let’s get started on creating a legacy your loved ones will cherish for generations to come. ✨

In 2019, I lost my mother to cancer. In 2023, I lost my father. It didn’t take long for me to understand what people mean when they say a library burns every time an elder passes. So much of their lives—memories, wisdom, and stories—went with them. I find myself wondering about their big decisions, their fears, their dreams, and their triumphs. There are so many questions I wish I had asked.

I can’t change the past, but I can help others prepare for the future. That’s why I’m hosting a FREE Webinar to help families write memoirs, autobiographies, and legacy books, capturing the stories and experiences of their loved ones while they still can.

If you’re an elder or have an elder in your life, this is for you. Join us, and I’ll share how we’re helping families preserve their legacies, one story at a time.

Let’s make sure no story goes untold. 💫

Business: Providing services or teaching? Which is better?
I was recently approached by an organization that wants to build their own self-publishing arm. I was hired to train their team on the basics of self-publishing using my Book Power Method. I'll be showing them how to produce quality books to preserve their studies and works for years to come.

Some may say, "Why would you train others instead of having them just hire you over and over? You're basically killing off your client load."

Two things:
1) There is more work than I could EVER do alone.
2) The more people who are trained and know how to use the resources available, the more knowledge we'll have preserved for the future.
and an extra one:
3) They pay me for my time and my knowledge. I'm privileged to have always been able to monetize my expertise because it is useful to others.

So it's a win/win to me.

Here's to more cultural preservation of our knowledge.

Flashback pic to when I released this method to the public. Two of my three loves were with me that day and tiny.

Question. Do you know anyone over the age of 65 who should write their story?

ELDER STORIES!
We're on a mission to help 100 elders/families record their stories THIS YEAR!

Here's how:

My name is Zarinah El-Amin and I'm a cultural anthropologist and publisher. Unfortunately, my parents have returned to their Lord so I can no longer record their stories, but YOU can!

I've assembled a team of experts along with myself to build a community that reverences our elders and teaches a full curriculum around legacy writing.

In The Legacy Keepers Collective, over 8 weeks, you'll learn:

**How to capture the essence of your family’s history, from personal memories to cultural traditions.
**Step-by-step techniques to organize, write, and edit your elder's stories into a beautiful legacy book.
**Tips on interviewing like a pro, so you can ask the right questions to uncover hidden gems in your family's history.
**Creative ways to use photos, letters, and documents to bring the story to life and make it a keepsake for future generations.
Tools to structure and enhance the narrative so it flows with emotion, wisdom, and heart.

**Plus, bonus resources to make sure the process is smooth and enjoyable.

Our FIRST cohort of the 8-week Legacy Keeper program will begin on Wednesday, Dec 4th.

Registration to join the full program is NOW open till Nov 30th.

All those who are interested in being a must attend one of our FREE weekly info sessions / masterclasses. The next one is October 8 at 12noon EST.

A memoir? or autobiography? Writing a legacy book—whether as a memoir or autobiography—ensures that your loved ones and future descendants have a deep connection to their roots.

The difference? An autobiography tells the full journey of your life, while a memoir highlights the specific meaningful moments or themes that shaped who you are today.

Both are powerful tools to preserve your legacy.
But these are just two types of books.
Ready to start your journey? Let’s keep your stories alive!

Have your children or grandchildren asked you to write a book but you aren't sure how to get started?

One thing I know from my clients is that it's common to feel overwhelmed at the thought of putting your life into words. But here's the good news: You don’t have to write it all at once.

Start small by breaking it down into stories or memorable moments that stand out to you. Think about the things you want them to know—your favorite childhood friend, the biggest lesson you've learned, or the people who shaped your life.

Begin with just one story, one experience, and build from there. Before you know it, you’ll have a collection of stories that reflect your journey and wisdom, creating a beautiful legacy for your family.

Curious how to put it all together?

Join me for a free webinar to help you shape those memories into a book your family will treasure forever. It’s easier than you think, but tomorrow is not promised.
