Who we are, What we are!

 

YOU be the Light!

​

IFE is a multifaceted entrepreneur, educator, author, and artist from the Southside of Chicago. A proud alumna of Kenwood Academy High School, Ife studied Dance and Education at Chicago State University and Northern Illinois University. She embraces her rich Yoruba Nigerian heritage alongside her Rasta Jamaican roots, blending these influences with her Chicago upbringing in her music, which fuses Afrobeats, Reggae, and Hip-Hop/R&B.

​

A seasoned hairstylist, barber, model, actress, and dance instructor, Ife has dedicated over 20 years to teaching dance, middle school, elementary, and special education, specializing in autism support. She is the founder of Bucket of Love (2018), a nonprofit that creates alternative educational spaces and outlets for underserved communities, and she runs Loving Productions (2024), which includes Adeyeba Glow, a natural hair and skincare line ("You Be the Light"), and Café of IFE (Love), featuring her live show, "The Couch" with Queen Ife.

​

As an artist, Ife is set to release her debut EP, "Ebun Oluwa," on August 17,  2025 showcasing her unique and blended sounds. Her mixtape, "African Butterfly" , available on YouTube, features covers and videos of iconic songs from Bob Marley, Davido, and Jill Scott. Additionally, Ife’s upcoming book, "Finding IFE: The Places He Took Me," delves into her journey through love, travel, and self-REdiscovery.

​

Ife is passionate about reconnecting Africans with their heritage through her future school: One Love School of Arts Academy, which will immerse students in Illinois Standard Curriculum, the arts, diversity and TRUE history. Whether teaching  in the classroom or on stage teaching on beats, Ife’s mission is to bring Love, Light and Truth wherever it’s needed, with her mantra:

"We love people through, we nudge people through, but we don’t judge people through."

 

YOU be the Light..... IFE
