In this episode of the Legacy Lyrics and Life podcast, host Shawna Wells, the legacy architect, sits with Tanya St. Julien, commonly known as TSJ, the founder of the company First Years. TSJ shares her personal journey as a Haitian immigrant's daughter, living a life in the margins, and her notion of legacy. While questioning the traditional views of legacy tied to generational wealth and bloodlines, they explore broader definitions, including collective and non-traditional legacies.
Through interrogative and thought-provoking dialogue, they discuss how legacy can manifest through community impact, ripples of influence, and love and service. The conversation delves into the challenges and reconsiderations of legacy in the absence of kids or large-scale creations, ultimately prompting listeners to examine how their existence shapes the world around them.
