About Love Up Lab

Love Up Lab LLC exists to transform pain into purpose by building sustainable businesses that fund life-changing opportunities for adolescents and young adults impacted by trauma, juvenile detention, and life-altering setbacks. Born from the loss of our son to senseless gun violence, our mission is rooted in advocacy, faith, and restoration. As a mother, I dedicated years to researching rehabilitative resources that support mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual healing. What began as grief became an assignment to reinvest love, structure, and opportunity back into the communities that need it most.​Through revenue-generating products and services including Custom Printing, Event Rentals, Signature Oils and Personal Care Products, and Love  Up on Wheels, our mobile outreach unit we intentionally fund our initiatives while creating real-world training and employment pathways. These business branches serve as hands-on workforce development opportunities for individuals enrolled in our programs, equipping them with marketable skills, work experience, mentorship, and confidence. Together with my husband and partner, Roy Hodge, we are building a purpose-driven enterprise that restores dignity, creates second chances, and turns setbacks into sustainable futures.
