ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Mellanese Lofton

Introducing the dynamic force behind the transformative movement, Lift Ev'ry Voice, is none other than Mellanese Lofton, a visionary Co-Founder driven by the belief that our voices are not just an echo in the void but instruments of change and empowerment. With an unwavering commitment to amplify the silenced narratives, Mellanese epitomizes the ethos of "see something, say something," embodying the wisdom that silence is indeed golden, yet there are moments when it's imperative to break it, to speak out against injustice.

Guided by the profound words of a revered mentor, Mellanese embarked on a journey to carve out a platform where voices are not only heard but revered for their potency in challenging societal norms. Lift Ev'ry Voice stands as a testament to this vision—a beacon illuminating the shadows of racism and inequality that persist in our world.

Equipped with a formidable academic arsenal, Mellanese earned a B.A. in Psychology from the prestigious University of Texas, delving deep into the intricacies of human behavior and societal dynamics. This foundational knowledge was further fortified by a Juris Doctorate from the esteemed University of California, Berkeley School of Law, empowering Mellanese with the legal acumen to navigate the complex corridors of justice.

Now, extending an invitation to all who dare to dream of a world where justice isn't just a concept but a tangible reality, Mellanese calls upon individuals to join the ranks of Lift Ev'ry Voice Advocates. Together, let us harness the power of our collective voices to reshape the narrative, to stand tall against injustice, and to pave the way for a brighter, more equitable tomorrow. Join us, and let your voice be the catalyst for change.
