The Importance of Preserving Black History with Dominique Luster

If you’ve ever felt like your story was erased, rewritten, or left out of the record, this conversation will remind you of your power to be seen and remembered. My guest Dominique Luster, founder of The Luster Company, shares her journey from a small-town theater student in Kentucky to becoming one of the few Black women archivists protecting culture, lineage, and legacy. What started as a job in the library became a calling that led her to preserve the voices and stories of families, communities, and women around the world. Dominique shows us that archiving is not just about old papers. It is about the recipes, the family stories, the sound of your grandmother’s laughter in the kitchen. She reminds us that the cloud does not mean ownership and that women entrepreneurs must protect their creations and their intellectual property. Most of all, she shows us that history always favors the one who wrote it down.
