The heart behind InspireHer Keepsakes was born from a deep desire to preserve the stories that shaped us.
As a proud African-American woman and the unofficial family historian, I grew up knowing how easily our heritage could be lost—stolen through slavery, scattered by displacement, or simply forgotten with time. When my grandparents were still with us, I would sit for hours listening to their stories—their childhoods, their dreams, their faith. After my grandfather passed, I realized how much of our family’s history disappeared with him. I started recording video conversations with my grandmother so her voice, her wisdom, and her legacy would live on long after she was gone.
When she transitioned, part of my healing came through crafting a biographical tribute—a keepsake video that told her story in her own words. That sacred process gave my pain a purpose, and InspireHer Keepsakes was born.

Our Vision
Today, we help other families do the same—preserve their legacies through customized keepsake videos and memory-filled digital storytelling. Whether it's for milestone birthdays, homegoings, anniversaries, or generational gifts, our keepsake videos and magazines ensure that our beautiful, complex, and powerful stories are passed down with dignity, love, and celebration.
Because long after we're gone, our stories deserve to be remembered—and heard. We envision a world where every family's voice is honored, every story is preserved, and every legacy continues to inspire future generations.
Celebrate Their Story
MEMORIAL TRIBUTES
Give Them the Tribute They Deserve Honor the memory of your loved one with a deeply personal Memorial Tribute Video. We craft a heartfelt cinematic tribute that highlights their life, love, and legacy through meaningful images, music, and messages. Each video is customized with care and can include personal reflections from family and friends—because as my grandmother always said, “Give them their flowers.” This lasting video tribute brings comfort, unity, and healing during a time when it matters most. Prices start from $150
KEEPSAKE VIDEO
Celebrate the Moments That Matter Most From weddings and birthdays to graduations and anniversaries, our Keepsake Videos transform your milestone memories into beautifully edited films that can be treasured for generations. Each video is created with love and precision and includes heartfelt video messages from friends and family to surprise and honor the recipient—so they can receive their flowers while they’re here to smell them. It’s more than a video—it’s a legacy in motion. Prices start from $200
LEGACY MAGAZINE
Your story, beautifully told. The Legacy Magazine isn’t just a keepsake—it’s a custom-designed tribute that blends storytelling and design to honor a life, a journey, or a milestone. Each magazine is created with intention, using professionally written articles, handpicked photos, and a clean, timeless layout to reflect the essence of your loved one or the occasion being celebrated.
Whether you’re honoring a retirement, birthday, or memorial, this digital or printed heirloom offers a tangible way to preserve memories and pass them down through generations.
Starting at $400 Each project includes a personal consultation to ensure every detail reflects your heart and vision.
LEGACY BIOPIC AND MAGAZINE
Where storytelling meets cinematic legacy. Our Legacy Biopic + Magazine package is a powerful storytelling experience that brings your loved one’s voice and memories to life. Unlike automated services, we spend one-on-one time (in-person or via Zoom) conducting a warm, guided interview that draws out meaningful stories, laughter, and wisdom—captured on video in their own voice. We pair this documentary-style keepsake video with a custom Legacy Magazine for a complete legacy package that can be experienced, shared, and cherished for years to come.
Starting at $750 Includes filming, editing, and design—all handled with empathy, excellence, and a commitment to preserving your family’s legacy with dignity.
