    Building Together

    This week we dive into how we are working to build legacy not only for our family but for the community. Check out the two synopsis of our new projects. At Life ReDefined Inc.  we believe that through positive narration and storytelling, we can create better families and a brighter future. We are a revolutionary, family focused non-profit organization that seeks to blend families together, to help heal the brokenness and bring about a sense of community. Through curated programming we create space for families to celebrate and learn.  Our mission is to use our resources to be a beacon of light for families and to provide them with the tools to create and sustain strong, healthy relationships with each other and the community at large. We are committed to changing the narrative and helping families grow and thrive. Mission: To inspire family and community connection through intentional and collaborative experiences. Vision: To use revolutionary practices to promote positive family connection that fuels growth and community centered healing ------------------------------- CR8TV NRGY and the CR8TV HOUSE are about activating and transforming space and mindset. CR8TV NRGY is an interdisciplinary Creative Consulting Group that uses purpose to accelerate innovation and transformation. We do this by tapping into creativity and wonder to fuel transformative community-based action, workshops and arts related experiences. Our founder, Symphony Swan-Zawadi, lost her mother and father within a short three-year period. With each parent, Symphony served as their primary caregiver at the end of their lives. She ensured that they ended their lives surrounded by love and youthful energy. Losing her parents was difficult, and losing her father unearthed complicated feelings because of their estranged relationship. It wasn't until she revisited her father's house, her childhood home, that she realized how influential her mother and father were in creating a space for her to live authentically and creatively. She also realized her father's creative influence over her life. He was an artist and transferred that energy in every way possible. He loved literature, history, woodworking, music, and photography. Symphony finds connection and inspiration in each of these areas. After working as an educator and arts non-profit executive, Symphony received several dream messages from her father and felt called to transform his house. Located in the Old North Milwaukee neighborhood, this area is often forgotten about. The CR8TV HOUSE will serve as a place that inspires, supports, and uplifts the next generation of creatives. CR8TV House will serve as an arts institution intending to document, exhibit and celebrate the work of Black, Brown, and Indigenous artists.
