Legacy
I’m Legacy, a content creator born and raised in East Oakland, CA. Growing up, I didn’t see many people who looked like me or shared my experiences in the media or even in everyday conversations. As a Black, masculine-presenting lesbian, I often found myself searching for representation that reflected my unique journey and perspective—but rarely found it. This lack of visibility in mainstream spaces led to a deep sense of wanting to create something different, something more real and representative. So, I created Legacy Said So, a space where I could be my authentic self, share my story, and build a platform that uplifts others who, like me, have felt unseen.
Legacy Said So is more than just a blog; it’s a reflection of my journey. It’s a space where I share my thoughts, feelings, and perspective on everything from culture and lifestyle to social issues and personal growth. I dive into topics that matter not only to me but to others who are looking for a voice that resonates. I strive to offer insights and inspiration while also challenging societal norms around identity, beauty, and success. My hope is that through sharing my experiences, others will feel empowered to embrace their own stories and take pride in who they are.
One of the things that quickly became clear while building Legacy Said So was the immense power of social media in amplifying voices like mine. Social media gave me the tools to reach a wider audience, share my message, and connect with people who were on a similar journey.
However, learning how to effectively use social media wasn’t easy—it took countless hours of research, practice, and trial and error to figure out what worked best. Over the last 10+ years, I’ve immersed myself in the digital world, studying its ins and outs, testing strategies, and finding ways to connect with an engaged audience. This hands-on experience gave me a solid understanding of what it takes to grow a brand online.
Through my work, I’ve come to realize that many small businesses face the same challenges I once did—figuring out how to effectively use social media to engage with their audience. Social media can be intimidating, especially for small business owners who are often juggling multiple responsibilities. That’s why I decided to take my knowledge and expertise and use it to help others. I now work with small businesses, providing hands-on support to enhance their social media presence and scale their brands.
I believe in the importance of authenticity in today’s digital age. Too often, businesses fall into the trap of trying to mimic trends or replicate the success of others without truly understanding their own unique value. My goal is to help small business owners discover and express that value.
I work with them to develop clear, engaging content strategies that align with their brand’s identity. Whether it’s crafting compelling posts for Instagram, running ads on Facebook, or experimenting with TikTok, I guide them through each platform, helping them find their voice and build a loyal customer base.
At the core of what I do is empowerment. I’m not just offering social media tips—I’m giving business owners the tools they need to take control of their digital presence and turn it into a powerful engine for growth. I teach them how to communicate effectively with their audience, create content that resonates, and use analytics to refine their strategy. With a clear understanding of their goals and the right approach, I help businesses scale their reach and deepen their engagement with customers.
But my journey doesn’t stop there. Through Legacy Said So, I’ve also created a community where people can come together to share their experiences and learn from one another. I want this platform to be a space where we can challenge the status quo, build connections, and grow both personally and professionally. Whether I’m sharing my personal reflections, offering social media strategies, or spotlighting dope insights on various topics, my goal is to inspire others to find their voice and thrive in this digital world.
Ultimately, everything I do—whether it’s creating content for Legacy Said So or helping businesses amplify their social media presence—stems from a desire to make an impact. I want to help people and businesses grow, connect, and realize their full potential. It’s not just about building a brand; it’s about creating a legacy that empowers others to do the same. Together, we can learn, grow, and succeed in ways we never thought possible.
