The Embers of Love

“The smallest amount of empathy will change your whole perspective and allow you to live stress free in this world.” - Lance G. Newman II

By Elizabeth Scinta Photos byAndrea Hutchinson Love: a four-letter word with an immense amount of meaning. But without us giving that four-letter word meaning and power, it’s simply another sound that rolls off our tongues, convoluted by circumstances. Lance G. Newman II (also known as Mr. Spreadlove), a Louisville artist, philanthropist and professional, took that four-letter word and gave it the power to inspire. “We placate and dilute love and dress it up as this romantic endeavor when I truly believe it’s the core element of humanity and every religion that has ever existed,” explained Newman. “It can be cheesy, or you can dress it up as a Rastafarian one love thing, but I truly believe in love. I know that love exists in each one of us even though sometimes we can’t see it.”
