So many of the folks we work with have multidimensional stories. They often aren’t just working on a single project, business or mission – instead they are often involved in so many things all at once and so we often wonder about what they themselves hope their legacy will be about. We’ve shared some of their responses with you below.

Ahmad Zalan | Ahmad Zalan | Actor

am a human being with a humble character who has a slogan of “simple artistic work but an outstanding one”. I always strive for perfection, though it may not be possible sometimes. I tremendously love acting, so I hope my legacy inspires new actors, much like me, to embark on their journey in the world of performing arts. Instead of settling for jobs they don’t enjoy, just for the sake of a stable salary, I encourage them to pursue their passion and follow their dreams.   In the recent past, I took my own courageous decision to make a tough choice at the age of 19, leaving everything behind, quitting my job, and moving to Los Angeles to study acting. It was a pivotal moment in my life. I encourage young and ambitious students to understand that they can also make bold decisions, irrespective of age or circumstances. It’s not just about acting; it’s about having the courage to pursue what they truly want. If I could take that leap of faith and make it happen, so you can. Don’t let fear hold you back—take that step with faith, step into the unknown, and start creating the life you envision for yourself. Read more>>

I want my legacy to reflect my unwavering faith as a firm believer in Jesus Christ, a great family man, and devoted husband. I aim to be remembered as a diligent individual who worked tirelessly to better myself, both physically in the gym and spiritually in my daily life.

I hope to be remembered as someone who inspired others to pursue their dreams and live with purpose, driven by love, faith, and dedication to personal growth and the well-being of those around me.

Alekos Manikas | Comic book Artist, Character Designer, & Background Designer

I want my legacy to be positive and inspiring for many generations to come. I want people to remember not just my name but the spread of joy and happiness I gave to those who are going through tough times. As some people know growing up, I didn’t have the best childhood… But, during those tough times, I would watch and read lots of superhero shows and comics when I was younger. They have been a great influence in my life, as I didn’t have the best childhood. So, I want to give that joy and happiness to others, as it helped me growing up. It’s about giving back and helping others. I wish to inspire the next generation to follow their passions and dreams! That is what I want for my legacy. Read more>>
