EARTHSAYLOVE FOUNDATION

Arts & Poetry for Peace

I’m Saylove!

Also known as Earth Sufiyah Love, Founder of Earthsaylove Foundation, est. in 2009, and formally as a 501c3 in 2024. We create music, poetry, and art for peace and prevention education, and invest in arts opportunities for the restoration of survivors of violence and/or exploitation. Survivor-led and trauma-informed, our LLC protects our IP and our artists retain all rights to their work. Our blog series explores music, arts, and culture. I’ll be contributing my writing this season. Our other artists may also chime in!
