Hailima Yates

Hi there! I'm Hailima Yates, CEO of Luv Mrk. When I was a teenager I shared my poetry and performed in shows under the plays for living genre to address common esteem issues and social conflicts. My passion for encouraging self-Love and building unity led me to producing inspirational videos, a documentary, and multi-faceted performances with the help of the community to creatively express how our perceptions affect the way we treat ourselves and those around us. I started Luv Mrk to offer personal growth workshops, kindness campaigns, socially conscious videos and events to effectively ignite that spark in us to be good to ourselves and others in order to leave our imprint in the world with Luv.
