The Black Folder Project™ A Life Legacy Initiative
The Mission
To help individuals and families prepare in peace, not panic.
The Vision
A Completed Black Folder in Every Home.
Before you leave this world, prepare.
Too often, families are left scrambling, grieving, guessing, and wondering what their loved one would have wanted. The Black Folder Project™ is your invitation to change that. This isn’t about death. It’s about living intentionally and leaving meaningfully.
What Is the Black Folder?
A Black Folder is more than a binder of documents. It’s a personal reflection. A final gift. A practical roadmap. It includes:
- A heartfelt letter to your loved ones—what you would say if you had one more chance.
- Your thoughts on how you’d like to be remembered, honored, or celebrated.
- Key information: life insurance, will, power of attorney, important contacts.
- Your unfinished business, your dreams, your wisdom.
Why Start One?
The Black Folder Project™ is about no regrets. No regrets for what wasn’t said. No regrets for being unprepared. It’s about creating a legacy rooted in love, clarity, and courage. This process prompts you to ask powerful questions:
- Who am I?
- Who do I love?
- How do I live, knowing I will die?
