Wearing My Truth Wearing My Truth exists because transplant and chronic illness come with a whole lot of life nobody really talks about. Wear what you've lived.

💚 Life after liver transplant + chronic illness
Real stories, everyday realities & the stuff nobody warned me about.
🛍️ Transplant gifts for people who get it
↓ SHOP WEARING MY TRUTH
wearingmytruth.etsy.com There are cards, gifts, and celebrations for everything—but not nearly enough for what we survive, what we lose, what we gain, and everything that happens after. I created Wearing My Truth to make space for the lived experience: the waiting, the healing, the milestones, the scars, the humor, and the everyday realities of living after some very irregular sh*t. Through real stories and meaningful products, I make things for the people who live this life—and the people who love them.

I needed a liver. But asking for one? I couldn’t do it. 😩

Three months after my transplant, I’d written my donor’s family a letter, but still felt called to do more to honor his legacy.

So I turned my hardest ask into something people could wear instead of say.

And Wearing My Truth was born. 💚

A lot has changed since 2023! The living donor search shirts are still here, but now we’ve got matching buttons, liverversary goodies, Mercedes-scar love 🚘, and even a coloring book for my chronic illness girlies!

My Liver Story | Part 5: I’m Back 💚

For years, I could see what liver disease was doing to my body every time I looked in the mirror.

But after my transplant, something changed.

And it wasn’t just my eyes.

Sometimes getting your life back starts with recognizing yourself again. 🥹💚

My Liver Story | Part 4: The Call 💚

Six years on the transplant waiting list.

Three phone calls.

And one night that changed everything.

On August 3, 2022, at 2 a.m., my phone rang.

I had no idea that the next few minutes would change the course of my life.

My Liver Story | Part 3: The Time I Lost 💚

The hardest part of being sick wasn’t always what was happening to my body.

It was everything happening around me that I couldn’t be part of.

And some of those moments I don’t even remember.

Looking back, that’s the part that still hurts.

October is Liver Awareness Month 💚

Back in February 2024, I sat down with Shirley Brill of (Educating Minorities About Transplants) to share my liver transplant journey.

I thought this would be a good time to revisit that conversation and share a few pieces of my story.

Part 1 takes us back to 2009, when some abdominal issues eventually led to two diagnoses I never saw coming.

And then 2013 came. 👀

Thank you, Shirley, for letting me share our conversation again! 💚

October is Liver Awareness Month. 💚 Yes, really. 😂

No shade to the pink ribbons — but some of us have been trying to get y’all to notice the green ones too!

PSC eventually cost me my liver, so I’ve got a few things to say this month.

Liver disease. Transplant. Scars. PSC. Life after all of it. We’re talking about it.

If any part of that is your life too, stick around. 💚

🗣️ “The greatest coloring book I’ve ever bought.”
Okayyyy, no pressure. 😂🥹

But THIS is what keeps showing up in the reviews: humor to get through the tough days, something for when you’re out of spoons, and a little self-care.

I didn’t write those reasons. The people buying it did. And that’s pretty much exactly why I made it. 💚

Colonoscopy? Easy. Prep? Rude as hell. 😂

I’ve had Ulcerative Colitis since 2010, so annual colonoscopies are just part of the deal. Long-term UC comes with an increased risk of colorectal cancer…so yeah, I’m gonna drink the damn Miralax and Gatorade.

The meds though? Best nap ever. 😂

If you’ve had one, which is worse— prep or procedure?
