Lovern Gordon, LLN’s President and Founder, worked tirelessly to promote awareness around the issue after winning 2 back-to-back beauty pageants in 2010 (locally in Boston and nationally in Los Angeles). As a survivor of abuse from being a 15-year child witness to it in the Caribbean, as well as a 2-year adult relationship that took place in the States, she did not want to stop at the pageant platform with the advocacy.

 

Educating others about valuable resources available, which she and her mother were unaware of at the time they experienced their abuse and spreading awareness via workshops and community initiatives to engage others to be part of the solution, are reasons why she decided to form Love Life Now in 2011, the following year.
