Lourds Lane
Lourds Lane is driven by her mission -- to help others discover their inner superhero. As founder and CEO of the SuperYou FUNdation (www.superyoufun.org), she wrote the SuperYou curriculum to empower youth to discover theirs and to then positively impact the world. She also wrote the book, music, and lyrics to the Broadway-bound musical, "Chix 6"-- a story about a female comic book artist who becomes her most empowered superhero self with the help of her own superheroine creations.
A classically trained prodigy on violin and piano at age 3, Lourds toured with youth orchestras, playing in concert halls around the world. Upon graduating cum laude from Harvard, she toured North America with her rock band, LOURDS, and amassed a devoted fan base. Motivated by her commitment to empower young girls and spotlight inspirational female talent, Lourds founded and ran the largest female rock musician network in NYC, the Medusa Festival, for six years. Whether it be through speaking, writing, or music, Lourds' pervasive message sings out loud and proud -- "The Superhero is You." Her unwavering commitment to service, her deep-rooted passion to empower youth and women, and her amiable unconventionality, are the trifecta which constitute her own unique superhero-ness.
