The challenges families face
Where do we start?
Recording history feels overwhelming without guidance.
We speak different languages
Distance and language create invisible walls.
The context is lost
Photos fade without the voices behind them.
Research-Backed Impact
Emory University Study
“Children who know more about their family's history show higher self-esteem and better emotional wellbeing.”
The 'Do You Know?' scale turned out to be the best single predictor of children's emotional health.

Krishna Bisani
Founder
I lost all four grandparents before I could record their stories. Growing up in a multilingual immigrant family, I watched distance, time zones, and language barriers erase decades of family history.
I built Smara so no family has to lose what mine did.
