About Us
The idea of Ohana Legacy Project started when the founder, Shira, was visiting her best friend’s father who was battling cancer. She knew he only had a little time left. Without her friend knowing, Shira pulled out her camera and started filming. Question after question. Story after story. Tear after tear. The precious footage was edited and pieced together to tell his story.
A few months later when he passed away, Shira gave the video filled with memories, legacy and love to her best friend who said it was the greatest gift anyone has ever given her. Shortly after, Shira started making these family legacy videos for her own grandparents, parents and family friends. In 2021, sensing these projects were too priceless to keep within the family, 'Ohana Legacy Project was born to share this gift with families who desire to preserve legacy and pass down to future generations.
​
The purpose of these video projects is for your family to have the story of their heritage and pass on legacy to future generations so they can know where they come from. Your story is a piece of a multi generational family story that we can’t wait to help you share!
