Welcome to Veracity Unfolded:
An Inside Look At the Mind of Olivia Jay
Named after the act of unveiling necessary truths, each piece has been written, illustrated, and designed in hopes of empowering and encouraging others through everyday life. Our hope is to encourage and inspire you with our thoughts and perspectives as we take leaps into newness.
Whether you’re into just light reading or something a little heavier, the events that have occurred over the past few years have certainly proved that anything can happen. Veracity Unfolded became a way to deal with life in a fantastical, yet honest way.
Some days will be amazing, and some days may just tear you to shreds – just keep walking, keep learning, and hold your head up high. There are many treasures to discover and unlock in this space, so we recommend taking your time as you go through each post. Some are short, some are long, some are funny, some are sad, but all will encourage you to think in ways you may not have thought before.
