Kylie Lovett

Shea Fashion is thrilled to welcome Kylie Lovett to our Board of Directors! With an impressive career in law and public policy, Kylie brings a wealth of experience, a passion for community engagement, and a deep commitment to youth empowerment.

About Kylie Lovett

Kylie has dedicated her entire professional career to the legal field. She began as a student lawyer at the Rhode Island Public Defender's Office in 2020 and transitioned into a full-time staff attorney in 2021, working in the Rhode Island District Courts. Over the next three years, she steadily moved up the ranks, handling cases on the felony trial calendar. In 2024, Kylie made a strategic shift from the courtroom to policy, joining the Rhode Island Senate's Policy Office. Her legal background, particularly her experience as a Public Defender, provided a unique and invaluable perspective on legislative decision-making. Now, as the acting Policy Director for the Rhode Island Senate, she leads the policy department, collaborating with her team to shape and refine the Senate’s policy agenda.

Why Shea Fashion?

Kylie’s passion for service and community involvement is deeply rooted in her personal philosophy. One quote that has guided her journey is: “Our prime purpose in life is to help others, and if you can’t help them, at least do not hurt them.” This belief fuels her dedication to uplifting the next generation.

“Shea Fashion takes a unique spin on youth development,” Kylie explains. “It provides young people with a space to develop their creative tools and explore their identities. The ability to express oneself authentically is incredibly powerful, and Shea Fashion is giving students that opportunity.”

A Vision for the Future

Kylie’s vision for Shea Fashion is both inspiring and ambitious. Over the next five years, she aims to ensure that Shea Fashion continues to be a beacon of empowerment and creativity for students. However, she also sees the opportunity for expansion—reaching more communities and giving more students access to this life-changing program.

“I want to see Shea Fashion grow while maintaining its core mission of inspiring and equipping students with the tools they need to succeed,” she says. “Every young person deserves a space where they can thrive, and Shea Fashion is making that happen.”

Looking Ahead

We are honored to have Kylie Lovett as part of the Shea Fashion leadership team. Her expertise, passion, and dedication to youth empowerment will be instrumental in helping us expand our impact and continue to transform lives through creativity and self-expression.

Join us in welcoming Kylie to the Shea Fashion family! We look forward to the incredible work we’ll accomplish together.
