Becoming A Living Testimony

ARTavius is something special...

At just twenty-four weeks, he was prematurely birthed.

At the tender age of three, he was diagnosed with kidney disease.

As a teenager, he struggled to find his place in the world...

Being on dialysis was a challenge. His struggles overwhelmed him. Maintaining friendships burdened him. Medication, treatments, and mood swings inevitably spun his thoughts to suicide. There was a pivotal moment, while on dialysis. He prayed and made the ultimate promise to God...

His grandmother, Shirley Veasey, gave him purpose via encouragement and biblical teachings. Within a few months of the prayer, he was blessed with a kidney transplant...

And the trial of his experience, pain, sorrow, and triumph has become a tour de force...

In his memoir, Becoming A Living Testimony, ARTavius Veasey shows full transparency. He grants his readers the opportunity to walk with him on his journey. Through the storm of hardships was an unexpected breakthrough. An epiphany...that kidney disease indeed BLESSED his life. 

Presently, the 30-year-old I AM ART founder is going on 15 years post-transplant. He holds a master's degree and became a gold medalist athlete. His talent and his gift know no bounds. He continues to strive and break more barriers that inspire those of the transplant community, whoever felt they couldn't achieve their dreams due to kidney disease.

ARTavius isn't just a name...

It's a chef-d'oeuvre: Masterpiece.
