Sick and Sickening is a podcast highlighting the real unfiltered lives of disabled, invisible illness warriors and activists. Check out other Sick and Sickening episodes here : https://bit.ly/2TqIWZG Follow our host and MS patient advocate Roxy on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3htMGl7 Check Out Our Guest Gucckii Da Great Here : https://bit.ly/3ye5AE1 GucckiidaGreat Is A Designer , A Stylist , A Former High School and College Basketball Player, But Most Importantly She Is The Creator Of Living Life Apparel LLC and Self Paid Bosses Entertainment Inc. Living Life Apparel LLC clothing store was founded in September 2016 in Orange, New Jersey. Its name was developed based on the outlook of people being comfortable with just existing. Existing with the fear of being their true selves. Most people wake up miserable and unhappy because they have to face another day trying to live up to “society’s standards”. A unisex clothing company that goes against all that society says through fashion was then created (all genders are welcome at Living Life Apparel). There are different collections to summarize the journey to believe the human race takes before fully living life. Each collection tells a story all genders and ethnicity can relate to. Living Life Apparel LLC takes 15% from each purchase. The 15% sponsors our nonprofit organization, Self Paid Bosses Entertainment Inc, and other nonprofit organizations. Some of those other nonprofits include anti-bullying events, back-to-school drives, photoshop classes, tie-dye classes, coat drives, food drives, and many more. https://livinglifeapparel.com/about-us Follow Living Life Apparel LLC on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3zmxugZ ************************************ Disclaimer: By no means is the conversation on Sick and Sickening an alternative to medical advice.
