Come On In. Pull up a chair,
From Cleveland’s southeast side to community partnerships coast-to-coast, our roots are in neighborhoods, families and voices too often unheard. We exist because every legacy should be one of choice, not chance.
We don’t just tell stories, we elevate them, center them, honor them.
MEET LEAH
I’m a native Clevelander, with deep roots on the city’s southeast side. My family purchased a home in the Lee/Miles neighborhood in 1969, where my family still lives today.
Too often, outcomes for people in neighborhoods similar to my family are shaped by systemic factors beyond their individual control. Their fates are sealed. Legacies, pre-determined.
I love Cleveland, but more importantly, I care about its residents. I formed The Legacy Perspective to assist families, community leaders and organizations in building the legacies they desire, and deserve.
