Hi,
I'm Olivia.

👋 I love the ocean. I also love storytelling. And this is my space to share with you my love for both.

About
Black Life,
Blue World

Black Life, Blue World is my digital portfolio. It is where I showcase my passion for environmental advocacy and my eagerness to learn about storytelling. And as a lifelong learner, this portfolio is constantly growing.
