The Stories Of Us: Carrie London
What's Your Legacy?
This is a question I've been pondering a lot lately - with everything going on around us, living in the modern wold can feel like we are being stretched in so many (often competing) directions. When I want to ground myself and come back to my core values, I consider my legacy. What is it, why it matters to me, and how can I spread this beautiful message far and wide.
To celebrate the launch of our Legacy Locket - a beautiful keepsake necklace that is the result of nearly two years of work - I reached out to some incredible people in my sphere to share their legacies with you.
In honor of the stories that make us, I will also be donating a portion of our sales to each of these Legacy heroes' chosen causes to continue to pay it forward.

My greatest purpose is in the way I am raising my children - rooted in culture and a deep understanding of their ancestral heritage. I want them to walk through life with compassion, pride, and awareness of who they are.
The tapestry of our lives is beautifully woven with the threads of our family’s Mexican, African American, and German roots.
Our home echoes with the languages of our parents’ native countries. By exploring the lands where our ancestors once lived, we experience their traditions and carry their stories forward.
This allows us to blend the old with the new, honoring and celebrating those who came before us. Through this, my children will have unique stories to share, walking through the world with a deep appreciation for their heritage.
Carrie is an LA resident whose children’s school, Oak Knoll Montessori in Altadena, burned down in the recent fires. To celebrate the stories of us, we are donating a portion of our sales to the school’s GoFundMe page. You can connect with Carrie on Instagram @carrielondon
