Our History

Our journey began in 2019, guided by the will of founder Amber Carpenter. As the granddaughter of insightful and wise grandparents who nurtured her learning with their oral stories archives, Amber perceived a universe of wisdom, often ignored and threatened with inevitable oblivion with the demise of older generations. Touched by the profound value these stories hold to present generations and presents yet unborn, Amber decided to bring Because I Said So Archive to life.

The SC

Amber Carpenter, a linguist by profession and memory-archivist at heart, cultivated her deep respect for multinational narratives and global cultures throughout her studies and travels. Her trained linguistic sensibilities combined with immersive exposure to a myriad of societies enriched her realization of the preservation urgency of main traits of humankind - the ability to pass on wisdom through words and stories.

Our Destiny

Understanding the demand for a go-to source in capturing these to-be-looted pearls of wisdom, Amber envisioned creating an inviting platform to gather, preserve, and breathes thousands of centuries-old narratives and words of wisdom, simultaneously inspiring and entertaining contemporary and future generations.
