Get to know the person behind the book
Based in Cleveland, my experience with and love for older people is what motivates me to respectfully and carefully preserve their memories.
My maiden name is “Diamond”
I think it’s so fitting for this work. A diamond is considered precious and rare. Each facet gives a diamond its sparkle, like each memory makes us who we are.
Unlike diamonds, though, our memories fade with time. That’s why this work is so important to me.
Amy Diamond Cantor
Founder & Writer
Spending time with older people is something I’ve always loved, even as a child. It's woven into who I am.
From curriculum to community relations, my career centered around advocating for older adults. I have the soul of an entrepreneur and have had many successful businesses.
In 2024, I launched Diamond Memoirs.
I like to call myself the Memory Miner™—mining for memories takes patience and appreciation.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology & Gerontology and a Master of Education in Counseling. Interacting with people, especially older ones, is a skill I’ve honed.
I view this work as returning to my life's purpose, doing what I’d always loved to do in a new, independent way that would create lasting legacies for families.
I don't just transcribe stories. I become a trusted companion on your loved one's journey through memories.
My mission is to honor & celebrate each individual storyteller by compiling their cherished reflections into a timeless treasure for future generations.
