Wilkine Brutus presents….
PRESERVE VOICES
Maps & Diaries, founded by award-winning journalist Wilkine Brutus, is a documentary platform that transforms overlooked stories into lasting legacies through strategic family interviews, public workshops, and private consulting services.
Our flagship Preserve Voices program has served clients including Palm Beach County Library System, the City of West Palm Beach, and cultural institutions.
As the Great Wealth Transfer — where aging baby boomers pass down trillions in assets — reshapes how we view legacy, people are prioritizing experiences and wisdom over material possessions.
Preserve Voices is the first documentary program to honor this shift. We go beyond estate planning to capture the stories, wisdom, and memories that carry your family’s true legacy, preserved through audio and video for generations to come.
"Archiving your family's stories is just as important as leaving a home in your will." -Wilkine Brutus
How can Preserve Voices help you?
Preserve Voices and Community
Preserve Voices partnered with the Mandel Public Library in West Palm Beach, where Wilkine Brutus hosted a hands-on workshop that helped participants preserve their family history for future generations.
Brutus’ 2018 podcast, A Boat A Voyage: Haitian Refugee Story, was also part of a partnership with the Palm Beach County Library System, with speeches, Q&As, and workshops at the Wellington, Lantana, and West Boca branches.
More community events are on the way. Stay tuned!
