Your Life. Your Story.

Back in 2005, I interviewed my mother and aunt to capture some of the stories they would tell at holiday gatherings. I knew they were getting older; my mother had suffered a stroke and my aunt was in her 80s.

As a video professional and a broadcast journalist, I was used to interviewing people. In fact, over my career, I interviewed more than 35,000!

During the next hour, we talked about all the family history: Where they grew up, what their parents and grandparents were like, and what kind of crazy relatives did they encounter as kids?

We shared a lot of laughs, and I stored the videotape away.

A decade later, they’d both be gone, and then I remembered the tape.

As I rewatched that long-ago interview, it was like I was transported back in time to the holidays, where they’d jovially banter back and forth with the family stories.

I uploaded the video and shared a link to my family, where young and old alike were thrilled, both laughing and crying at this wonderful interview.

It was then that I realized every family should have these types of interviews. And over the past twenty years I have conducted numerous interviews for friends and honed in on what should be in these stories.

Now, I’m ready to add your family to my interview list.
