Reminiscence Bio offers ordinary folk the chance to tell their stories

Lisa Hamilton

The quote, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you,” has been attributed to the late Maya Angelou and it is one that Reminiscence Bio, established last August, firmly agrees with.

Its owner, Lisa Hamilton, aspires to preserve special moments and memories of people so that their future generations will have a better understanding of their history and legacy. On March 13, she won the International Decade for People of African Descent Assembly -Guyana (IDPADA-G) Invest-A-Thon Competition for her business project.

Growing up, Hamilton was familiar with stories about her mother’s relatives, but when her father’s stories were shared, there was never anything much on his father.
