What's Your Legacy?
The Legacy Author Life Story Academy is a writing program and community built for telling the story of past generations, sharing your own journey, and imparting wisdom for the future through authoring a personal life story manuscript.
Most Family Stories
are forgotten within 3 generations.
Photos fade. Memories disappear.
Elders pass away — and their wisdom is lost.
Many of us prepare for financial inheritance… but what about cultural inheritance?
Too often, our elders' wisdom, life lessons, and untold stories end up six feet in the ground, leaving families with questions they’ll never get answers to. Don’t let this happen to your family.
If the idea that your grandchildren may never know your grandmother’s spirit haunts you, it's time to do something about it.
Your story (or your loved one’s) is the most valuable gift you can leave behind.
Our stories are being lost
Our history is being changed
Our children are losing their connection to the elders
Our Promise
Writing your life story is not only life-changing—it’s legacy-changing.
The moment your story is written down, it stops living only in fragile memory. It becomes part of the permanent record of your family, your community, your faith, your culture. From that point on, you are not just living your life—you are officially an author of your life.
If you want it to, capturing your story can open all kinds of doors: it can deepen your family’s connection to their roots, preserve traditions for future generations, inspire others walking a similar path, and give you peace knowing that your lessons won’t be lost. People will talk about it differently—your children, grandchildren, and community members will hold your book and say, “this is who we come from.”
It’s something that will be mentioned again and again—from family reunions, to classroom lessons, to the stories shared long after you’re gone.
The only challenge?
You haven’t written it. Yet.
How the Life Story Academy Can Help
We help everyday people—elders, parents, community leaders, entrepreneurs, caregivers, seekers—finally bring their stories (or a loved one’s story) onto the page.
Maybe you’ve always meant to write but don’t know where to start.
Maybe you’ve been the keeper of your family’s traditions and want to record them before they’re lost.
Maybe you’ve walked a spiritual or religious path that your children don’t fully know, but one day will want to.
Maybe you’ve already written pages, but they feel scattered and unorganized.
Maybe you’re caring for an aging parent or grandparent and want to make sure their story is captured while you still can.
Maybe you wonder if your life is “big enough” for a book—but deep down you know your story matters.
Inside the Academy, you’ll find step-by-step guidance, prompts that spark powerful memories, and a community that supports you when doubt creeps in. Whether you’re writing for healing, for your family, or for the world, we’ll help you finish what you’ve started.
Your story doesn’t have to be perfect—it has to be told. And you don’t have to do it alone.
Don't Let Your Family History Be Lost.
Ready to document your life’s journey and pass down the wisdom of your family? The Legacy Keepers™ program makes it fun, meaningful and easy.
Have you ever wondered...
You’ve felt it—that quiet, persistent nudge to finally write it all down.
It's time to capture
Have you ever felt this way?
You’ve said, “I need to get this down someday.” But someday keeps slipping
away.
You’ve watched a loved one grow older and thought, “I need to capture their story.” But you didn’t know where to start.
You’ve stared at a blank page, overwhelmed by how big the story feels.
Our family histories are slipping away daily
Too often, our elders' wisdom, life lessons, and untold stories end up six feet in the ground, leaving families with questions they’ll never get answers to. Don’t let this happen to your family.

Why We Created This Academy
Hi, I’m Zarinah El-Amin.
I’m a cultural anthropologist, a publisher, a daughter—and now, your guide.
In 2019, I lost my mother.
In 2023, I lost my father.
And suddenly, that old saying hit different: “When an elder passes, a library burns.”
I didn’t just lose them—I lost stories. I had questions I never asked, about their childhoods. About my own life. About our people.
And the hardest part?
I had all the tools to preserve their stories. I’ve been in publishing for over a decade!
But like so many of us, I thought I had more time. That’s why I created this program. Not out of theory—but out of love, loss, and legacy.
My mission is simple: To help you write the story that deserves to be remembered—before it’s too late.
If you’ve got memories, voice notes, handwritten letters, or just a deep sense that something must be preserved...
I’ll help you shape it.
That’s my gift—taking the mountain and turning it into something that makes sense and feels beautiful.
This program isn’t just about writing—it’s about remembering.
And once you do that, your family will never forget.
Why Do This Now?
Because tomorrow isn’t promised.
Because once a story is gone, it’s gone forever.
The best time to start was yesterday.
The second best time is now.
It's about memories
...not just today, but for generations to come.
It's about history
...and safeguarded stories that could have been lost, ensuring future generations understand where they come from.
It's about legacy
...and trust that our history can help guide our future.
Introducing:
..a guided journey to help you or your loved one capture their life story, wisdom, and family history in a beautifully organized legacy book.
Imagine gifting your loved ones with something more precious than material wealth—a legacy of stories, lessons, and love they can cherish forever.
With Legacy Keepers™,
creating your family’s legacy book becomes a simple, fulfilling journey.
In just a
few short weeks,
you can complete the story that will connect your past to future generations—one that will be cherished for decades.
...even if you don’t consider yourself a writer, have scattered memories, or feel like you don’t know where to start.
We Follow a Simple 3 Step Process
PHASE 1: Plan Your Legacy
Before diving into the stories, you’ll need a solid plan. This phase helps you set clear intentions and organize your approach.
Legacy Vision: Define the purpose and scope of your Legacy Book. Are you documenting one life or several generations? We’ll help you clarify your goals.
Organize Memories: We provide tools to help you outline the chapters and themes for your Legacy Book.
Overcome the “I’m not sure where to start” Objection: You’ll be guided step-by-step to plan out your book before you even start collecting stories.
PHASE 2: Collect the Stories
This is where the real magic happens—gathering the priceless stories that will shape your legacy.
Memory Triggers & Interview Guides: Our expertly crafted memory prompts will help you start conversations with loved ones and draw out deep, meaningful stories.
Pivotal Moments Method™: Identify key moments in your family’s journey and create a compelling timeline.
Overcome the “I’m afraid people won’t remember much” Objection: We’ll show you how to dig deep into memory banks and make even everyday moments stand out.
PHASE 3: Write & Organize
In this phase, you’ll take the stories you’ve collected and bring them together in a cohesive, organized narrative.
Legacy Book Outlines: Choose from our proven outline templates to structure your Legacy Book effectively, whether it's an autobiography, memoir, or a collection of stories.
Writing Support: You don’t have to be a professional writer. We offer simple strategies to help you tell your story beautifully, in your own voice.
Overcome the “I’m not a writer” Objection: We break down the writing process into manageable steps, helping you feel confident in shaping your family's legacy.

Finding Your Bliss in the Midst of Pain
Wow, what can I say! Zarinah’s self-publishing Publishing Program has been one of self-discovery and growth. Allowing me to connect with the author and business woman within me. Her level of patience and kindness coupled with the ability to be firm and hold one accountable to do what is required to be successful as an author made the program more valuable than what I was required to pay!
Sommieh Stephanie Flowers
Eye of the Heart
Zarinah is an excellent writing coach but she also knows the business end of publishing backwards and forwards. I would not have been successful at self-publishing this first time around without her guidance and direction. She is a really good listener who has the ability to get behind the words and hear a potential author’s hopes, dreams and fears, and helped me connect with my audience.
Lydia Muhammad
Purple Peace
I was confined to my home due to sickness. Zarinah had some special online classes that I was blessed to be a part of and I was a captive audience. For many years I have written poems articles, small notes, etc. They were tucked away in storage containers and on memory drives. Zarinah inspired me not only to put my thoughts together in book form, but also how to help others to do the same. Her instructions have motivated me to complete other works as well.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to be a good writer to join?
You don’t need to be a writer. You don’t even need to know where to start.
Not at all. This isn’t about grammar or being “perfect on paper.” It’s about your memories, your wisdom, and your truth. We’ll give you step-by-step guidance, proven outlines, and prompts that make the writing flow. If you can tell a story out loud, you can write your book with us.
When do I get access to all the materials?
You’ll get immediate access to the full course and bonuses right after you enroll. That means you can start watching lessons, exploring the templates, and organizing your story today—no delays.
Is this just an AI program?
Nope. This is a human-centered, heart-led writing program designed to help you capture the stories that matter most. We do include a bonus training on how to use AI tools to support your writing—but it’s completely optional and self-guided.
I’ve already started writing—will this still help me?
Perfect. We’ll help you organize, expand, and structure what you’ve already collected so it becomes a cohesive, meaningful story—no need to start from scratch.
What if I can’t make it to live Office Hours?
No worries! If you can’t attend a live session, simply post your question in our VIP Community. Our coaches will address it during the next Office Hours session, and you’ll have access to the replay to watch at your convenience.
Can I give this as a gift or enroll someone else?
Yes! If you want to enroll on behalf of a parent, grandparent, or loved one, you can absolutely do that. Just reach out to us at [email protected] and we’ll help you set it up.
What is your refund policy?
Because this program includes instant access to all digital materials and live coaching, we do not offer refunds. We encourage you to review the full offer before enrolling—and reach out if you have questions. We’re happy to help you decide if it’s the right fit.
What will I have by the end of the program?
By the end, you’ll have a completed life story manuscript. Not just notes, not just ideas—a full draft that’s ready to share with your family, your community, or the world. That manuscript is the seed of your legacy.
How do I graduate from the Academy?
Graduation happens when you’ve completed your life story manuscript. That’s the goal we walk you toward from day one. Along the way, you’ll move through our framework, receive coaching, and get the accountability you need to keep going.
Twice a year, we celebrate your accomplishment with a special graduation gathering—because finishing your manuscript isn’t just a milestone, it’s the foundation of your legacy.
From writing your manuscript, you can choose whether to keep your manuscript private, share it with your family, or explore publishing options. No matter what you decide, you’ll leave the Academy with a tangible piece of your life story in hand.
You don't need to be an "author."
You just need to have a story worth sharing.
