Lineage & Legacy Recording Experience is space for our people to tell our stories, share our memories and leave a record.
“When my grandfather transitioned into ancestorship, I found peace and comfort in the voice messages he left me and the few conversations we shared that I happened to record. In the moment, it felt instinctive. Today, I know it was divine.”
Music is a Spiritual Technology.
Lineage & Legacy Recording Experience is a facilitator-led offering where we use the power of music, communal reflection and storytelling to make the sharing and preservation of Black stories deeply personal and joyful.
“For my 35th birthday, I recorded “Legacy,” a Liberated Love Note to myself. It is a love letter to myself, my village, ancestors, elders and children. What started out as a “joy practice,” is also part of me leaving a record to my descendants. A reminder that I was here.”
Legacy is Wealth.
In partnership with recording studios, sound engineers, and music producers, we’re building legacy albums, cultural archives—somethin' like a spiritual bank—because in a world that erases, distorts, and steals our stories, legacy is wealth.
This is an experience that fosters healing, strengthens communities, and ensures future generations hear their ancestors' voices.
“Storytelling and music have always been part of how we resisted, remembered and reclaimed our joy.
On the day that Vice-President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 Presidential Election, I recall feeling a sense of heaviness. Since music is healing for me, I returned to Fannie Lou Hamer’s album, “Songs My Mother Taught Me.”
I remember feeling such gratitude for such an offering. How beautiful and mindful of her to leave us a record.”
How It Works
Telling Our Stories.
Leaving A Record.
Then, we get in "the booth"--quite literally, creating a record.
In partnership with a team of community based producers and sound engineers, each experience is documented in the form of a Lineage & Legacy “album,” each track connected to a story, family, or community’s lineage & legacy.
The Vibe.
In partnership with She's WELL Networked, a community of Black women entrepreneurs, we created space for Black women business owners to reflect on and honor their lineage & legacy. Click the music note icon on each image to hear a preview of the powerful stories shared.
Gratitude to our partners: MRI Studios (Studio Partner), Silent K Productions (Sound Engineer), and Donnie Katana (Beat/Track) for supporting this project.
