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.

Legacy matters deeply to me. This campus has been part of my family’s story for over 100 years. Over the decades, it has witnessed many transformations—once a thriving institution, then a bankrupt and defunct college, and for a time, abandoned and forgotten. Read More>>

At the heart of everything I do is a deep belief in the power of community, both in the stories I help bring to life and in the way I approach making films. Cinema, for me, has always been a tool for connection and empathy, a bridge between worlds and perspectives, a way to share experiences that might otherwise go unheard or be taken for granted.

I want to help open the doors even wider, to make filmmaking feel less like an exclusive industry and more like a shared, collective space where everyone has the right to create, to dream, and to be seen. Growing up, film was my way of reaching beyond the immediate world around me, and that early experience taught me that storytelling isn’t just about who holds the camera, it’s about who gets to imagine, who gets to be heard, and who gets to take up space.

I want to be remembered as someone who told the truth—even when it was uncomfortable, even when it cost me something. My legacy, I hope, will be rooted in the courage to expose illusions, ask deeper questions, and live from a place of spiritual integrity. Whether it was through building startups with soul, helping founders find clarity in the chaos, or writing a book that uncovers forgotten parts of our humanity—I want people to feel like I gave them permission to come home to themselves.

I really hope my legacy is bringing more diversity to film in-front and behind the camera. I care deeply about bringing more people of color to the screen and telling authentic stories while also promoting diversity behind the camera as well. Lack of diversity in film and television had such a big impact on my childhood, and being able to help change that for the next generations would mean so much to me. I grew up as a Chinese-adoptee in a predominantly-white Philadelphia suburb. I saw too few faces on my tv screen that remotely looked like me, with very few “role model” figures so being able to bring more diversity to mainstream television shows and movies would be terrific.
