From the Cradle of Humanity

A Legacy That Cannot Be Taken

We honor every ancestor by name — beginning with our African American and Pan-African forebears and reaching to every lineage of humankind — and weave their stories into a permanent, public archive that descendants will trust for generations.

Watch · about 1 minute

Preserving the legacy. Honoring the lineage. Held under your hand alone — and placed beyond loss.

Your ancestors are not a product. They are yours to hold — forever.

Verifiably archived — featured memorials carry a public proof anyone can check. See the sample memorial for a live example.

Two ways to begin

One archive, one path — three doors in.

Whether you are honoring someone who has passed or keeping your own life for those who come after, you climb the same four tiers: begin free, then keep what matters — paid once, never rented.

For someone who has passed

Raise a Memorial

Honor a name in the public archive — their story, their portrait, their voice — held with dignity and preserved on the open network.

Your own life

Keep a Living Legacy

Keep a moment forever — paid once, with a public proof anyone may verify.

Most chosen

The Keeper — $50/yr

20GB — a lifetime of moments — with 100 sealed forever each year, and the Family Web for five kin.

The heirloom

The Vessels — $39+

The record made touchable: the Deed, the Medallion, the Book — up to the Muhuri, a whole life in metal.

From the Studio

The Archive in Motion — now premiering.

Twelve griot letter-films — lives narrated and lessons from the fire, the letters of the dawn told as living pictures.

The free road

The Keeping — your days, kept on your own device.

One small question each day, or the whole thread of your days — spoken, written, or filmed, held free on your own device behind a passphrase only you hold. Seal the moments that matter, a dollar apiece, and they outlast the device that held them.
