Lourds Lane

The SuperYou FUNdation was built off the passion and heart of our founder, Lourds Lane. Also known as the superhero “Shine,” her “superpower” is love, and you feel her love shine the moment you meet her. Lourds created the arts and music-infused SuperYou programs and curriculum to empower global youth and adults to connect to their unique power and authenticity. Her goal is to connect people to love, joy, and abundance that is overflowing right now so students feel inspired to give back to the world.
