About the Little Empire

Little Family. Big Adventures — Global Life.

a family building a legacy in motion

This is our living story.

Long before maps were folded and plans were penciled in,
there was a family who believed that life was meant to be lived wide open — with wonder in their steps and meaning in their hands.

THE FAMILY BEHIND THE STORY

THE FAMILY BEHIND THE STORY

We’re The Littles — a creative, military family of six raising four daughters across continents and cultures.

Dhakeria Little is global storyteller, creative mother, poet, and memory-keeper of this little empire.

Will is the quiet eye behind the lens, capturing the world through our family’s unique perspective.

The Girls are the heartbeats of this adventure — curious, brave, and growing up with the world as their classroom.

We’re not tourists checking boxes. We are a global family learning to live, love, and raise girls in cultures far from where we were born — with passports in one hand and purpose in the other.


WHERE WE’VE LIVED & LOVED

These are the lands that shaped our rhythm, our roots, and our remembering.

Military life opened the door. Curiosity and courage walked us through it.

Places We’ve Explored Together

Europe • Asia • Africa • Middle East
From Venice to Dubai. From Budapest to Egypt. From London to Jeju Island.
Each place a chapter. Each journey a lesson.

Our girls don’t just see the world; they learn to belong to it.
