The Greater Metro Detroit Lions Club/Lions Hearing Center became a major source to the Love family when it was discovered Love's niece was deaf. As her niece grew into a young woman Love inspired her to compete in Tae Kwon Do. This fall, she was recruited by South West Collegiate Institute for the Deaf's basketball team-a part of Howard College in Texas. And today Love is giving back to the organization that gave so much to her niece by raising scholarship funds. And now, Love is supporting the development of Seoul, U.S.A a movie inspired by her own life to empower young women around the world.

Love is known for her competitive career before and during the 1988 Olympic Games. She put Detroit, Michigan on the world map by winning three World Championships, two Olympic Medals, 10 US National Championships and 5 Pan American titles.

The most decorated athlete in Tae Kwon Do history, to date, no other female practitioner has beat her record. In 1991, the United States Olympic Committee named Ms. Love Female Athlete of the year for all sports. In 1992, with the title of Team Captain under her belt, she was the only woman from the 88 team to return and medal for the U.S..

Soon after her retirement, Ms. Love coached the US National Team at the World Championships, World Cup and Pan Am Games and was named USOC Developmental Coach of the Year.

Today Love operates Love's Tae Kwon Do Academy where she teaches up and coming martial arts practitioners.

Actress, writer and producer of Seoul, U.S.A, Cherrelle eLan of Lady eLan Films will join Ms. Love to raise funds for the movie.
