Our Mission
“Stitching communities together with a needle of knowledge and a thread of talent”

L.I.F.T was created by the late John “Dolo Deyo Ello” Ragin and his wife Mellodye “Sweets” Green-Ragin as an outreach program for students ages 7 to 17 who may be faced with pressure from their peers. Sweets and Dolo saw the void in that area during their own childhood and wanted to offer a positive way to fill idle time.

The program is designed to be an outreach, as well as an outlet, for youth and young adults interested in different aspects of the entertainment industry, including, music, film, recording, acting, photography, videography, song writing, modeling, music production, studio engineering and more!
