✨️🖤🌈 Appreciation & Updates 🐞🌈

It's Liv, 30 & healing myself from the top down

I deeply appreciate any and every contribution towards my work, my situation, or general support of me through the years. Those dollars and cents kept me safe in bad situations, got me out of abusive relationships, kept me fed during flare ups + hospital stays, and paved the way for me to be here today.

I'm chronically ill / disabled and I have:

Sickle Cell Anemia, Arthritis, CPTSD, Spinal Infarctions, Sclerosis of the Hips + Shoulders, Anxiety, Trauma-induced Autism / Autistic;

I am an:

Esteemed Writer, Teacher, Navigator, Motivator, Energetic Analyst, Healer, Mentor, Advocate, Channeler, Medium, Conduit, Duality Doula, Accessibility Coach, Diviner, Creator, Wordsmith, Photographer, Grief Doula, Painter, and Survivor

I'm currently safe from the abusive significant others I've encountered along the way and my health is in a stable enough place that I can get back to my work on kofi; however I am still in the process of collecting supplies for work and ideally moving to a safer environment whenever I have the funds for it again, in the meantime please check out my recent writing and follow my kofi theolivetree for life + health updates.

Again, your time and attention has been deeply deeply appreciated, thank you so much for taking the time to listen ♡♡♡ See more of my work here.

--- Sickle Cell Awareness Month is in September! ---

30 yrs of sickle cell, 19yrs of cptsd, 17yrs of writing and following my passions, 12yrs of photography and festival appearances, 4yrs away from an abusive relationship, 3yrs of wild diagnoses, 2yrs back teaching and creating full-time, 1yr without my bestie, 7 months doing sunflowers for sickle cell, and 6 months no contact with my mom. This is what regulating my nervous system looks like 💕

[Image Description:

Here are three aerial views of a photo of rows and stacks of bookmarks that have a black base coat and background with individual colors drawn on each bookmark. The flower chosen is a rose; drawn with abstract line work. A swirl or spiral for the rose head, a single line for the stem, and petals with leaves that are drawn to show they have fallen off the core flower. Next to the bookmarks lays a service dog and a computer screen with showing star trek paused across the screen. This photoshoot took place in bed; now it's literally a bed of roses.]

Shared album · Tap to view!

🌈Here are 200+ unique representations of how art therapy heals / transmutes / alchemizes. With a mini blurb I'm testing for the accompanying written piece:

"My name is Liv and I've been fully immersed in art therapy for the past 7 years. Through writing, photography, videography, fashion, chromotherapy, balanced color theory, digital quilting, and painting with acrylics; my activeness highlights how even with ptsd you can find peace / calm / and joy again especially in the most unexpected moments. Every piece of art adding to the conversation, through every brush stroke and every color combination, signaling "my voice shall be heard" + "may my pain be forever acknowledged". My favorites thus far. The sacred juxtaposition where love of self meets honoring loss + grief. With this digital portfolio, I hope to reach, call forth, and truly inspire. Enjoy!""

🌈📸: I'm a writer, photographer, ancestral historian, vlogger, energetic analyst, grief + duality doula, sickle cell teacher patient and advocate, as well as painter 🎨

(came home with #aphasia from sustaining seizures in Nov 2025 + now I paint or create everyday; also narrowly escaped 29 yrs of emotional ab*se in January during this #pivotal time in history as well)
