Meet The "Love Is Love" Team

Marva J. Laws aka "Marvelous Marva"

"Love is Love" was founded on November 16th, 2015, stemming from Marva Laws' passionate idea to create greeting cards that celebrated love regardless of gender or circumstances.

The absence of such cards led her to envision a collection that would express her creativity both inside and outside of the cards. Recognizing the enormous potential of her concept, Marva Laws embarked on the journey of creating a remarkable brand.

Is a Baltimore native, with 38 years as a Registered Nurse. The majority of my time as a RN was in management, so I possess a compassion for people of all backgrounds.
 
Also, my 13 years of retail experience has prepared me well for this great endeavor. I was introduced to “LOVE IS LOVE ” when, my cousin & owner of Love Is Love, Marva initially began her unique brand and started on the path to success with it.
 
I truly believe in the Love Is Love Brand, Vision and Mission.
As the manager of Love Is Love, I am thrilled to be on a winning team and playing a part in the success of this company.

Embracing Diversity

The company caters to two distinct groups: the LGBTQ+ community and pet lovers. The initial collection of greeting cards was tailored for the LGBTQ+ community, promoting inclusivity and acceptance. As public attitudes evolved towards greater understanding, "Love is Love" aimed to bridge gaps and encourage conversations. Marva Laws ventured into crafting heartfelt and candid greeting cards that resonated with individuals seeking to express love from all perspectives.
