A New Season of Documenting Life, Legacy Building, and Inheritance

I never imagined that inheriting two family properties would become the starting point of an entirely new chapter of my life. A chapter that would teach me the real meaning of mastery and legacy.

When I purchased my great grandmother's home during the pandemic, I saw it as a spiritual inheritance, guided by a dream to find and acquire, the home of my paternal grandmother who was a pillar in the community. Four years later, my aunt passed and left me her condo, I wasn’t just given keys to homes.  I was anointed for the right of inheritance - the right of redemption, the responsibility of restoration, and the assignment of those who came before me. inheritance of legacy and beauty,

What began as a practical decision to preserve family property quickly became a spiritual assignment: to restore not just the structures, but the stories within them. To reimagine inheritance as a living, creative practice, one that could shape how my children see themselves, their roots, and their possibilities.

Most importantly, it has reshaped my philosophy of life and how I approach every day. Journeying through and working through Aunt Stefy's estate and her home has inspired me to be far more intentional about living to build a legacy of my own.

The right of inheritance I experienced as an heir had become a right of passage or an initiation. My life was becoming intertwined with so many of those before me, connecting first with Aunt Stefy and Big Mama.

Going through the motions of handling Stefy's estate, there was no question in my mind of what to do with her condo. It was an absolute and definitive proclamation to keep it. Many days while cleaning it and going through photos, drawers of school acceptance letters, retirement letters, medical statements, and more, I realized what her home meant to her through many different seasons of her life. t was an anchor and a sancturary. It was hers. And, I had to keep it. I paid the remaining balance of her mortgage and obtained the deed. The single act became a pivotal moment in my lineage and my own legacy. I know held the right of inheritance in my hand as a receivor and prayerfully a executor.

I was now being tasked with how am living to leave things behind. How am I living a life to build a legacy? What does that look life for me? Owning a few properties and businesses, having the desire to build generational wealth- how are you managing what may one day become your estate?

It reveals itself as a new season of life where living fully, legacy building, and estate planning are priorities and never happen stance. And, I have decided to document it as a lifestyle and creative practice.

In my latest YouTube video, I share a new series of lifestyle design where I am documenting legacy building for an entire year. Over the course of the year, I will share financial stewardship, estate planning, property stewardship, and creative living.
