Meet LookaHeir Legends Run in My Family | Ancestry Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with LookaHeir Legends Run in My Family and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi LookaHeir, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Once I realized that 3 of my loves in life, came second nature to me and actually helped others, I’d found my purpose. They were art, family history and storytelling. The Lord guided me to combine all 3, with family history as the foundation. I lived for untangling roots, getting lost in nostalgia & learning about our ancestors. And I could share that experience through art. After creating a few community history picture book projects I received proof just how much people loved reminiscing the good ole’ times. People needed it.

I created LookaHeir to save family history & celebrate memories. I believe we all have legends running in our families. Our family trees are loaded with characters that we can only meet through history. Unfortunately, ancestors often get viewed as strangers on paper and not legends. Everyone doesn’t see their ancestors’ story in scattered records and need help seeing the bigger picture. And that’s where we close that disconnection, by personalizing family history as art that stirs conversation.

Lookaheir specializes in creating one-of-a kind ancestry wall art that tells your family history. Your wall serves as your ancestors’ platform and the ultimate conversation piece. They’ll no longer be strangers on paper. It’s a cool way to introduce your family and friends to your ancestors. Every generation can pass down these heirlooms.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
A legend is a person as well as a story. A legend doesn’t have to be a celebrity. If a person or memory is special to you…that’s a legend. No matter how big or small it may appear to others, it matters.

LookaHeir’s ancestry wall art includes personalized family trees, timeline wall murals that you can place yourself, portrait drawing and photo restoration. If you’re an entrepreneur aka a legend in the making, we can create a timeline mural to illustrate your journey. We also offer these opportunities to churches, historical societies, organizations & professional genealogists.

I’m a family historian so I know how important it is to save your family’s history. We accumulate tons of records and it’s not always easy to pull a life story together. Making the most of our memories takes time too. So we’ve curated projects to make your memories tangible. We don’t need to leave everything to our imaginations.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Well, my mama is my best friend so we could spend our whole day researching at The National Archives of Atlanta & Woodruff Library. When we’re ready to regain our strength, we’ll head to the nearest Church’s Chicken.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I thank the Lord. I’m grateful for my mama, my angel daddy & granny and everyone who left me with a good memory. Also, my cousin, Ashley Ramirez, for pushing me out of my comfort zone to take my research skills to the next level. Within only 6mos of creating a community ancestry group, I now offer research to over 750 members. Ashley’s a fifth generation entrepreneur as well as a serial entrepreneur, business innovator and communication & marketing strategist. I truly admire her for sharing her gifts and knowledge.
