Serieve M. Andrews (SMAndrews) is a Canadian writer, survivor, and advocate whose work amplifies the realities of trauma, chronic illness, and systemic failure with a raw, unwavering voice. Her essays and commentaries — often emerging from deeply personal experiences — have become digital touchstones for others living through adversity.

Diagnosed with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (MECFS), she writes candidly about life with chronic illness, the invisibility and dismissal of disabled communities, and the bureaucratic violence embedded in healthcare and social systems. Her lived experience includes surviving childhood abuse, brain injury, neurodivergence, systemic neglect, and the long path to reclaiming identity — including the courageous act of legally changing her name to one of her own creation.

Despite experiencing profound hardship — including homelessness, institutional abandonment, and repeated medical gaslighting — Serieve has become a relentless advocate for trauma-informed care, name autonomy, and recognition of complex medical conditions. Her Reddit-origin essays, often written in response to others’ questions or injustices, have resonated across online communities for their searing clarity, nuanced insight, and deep compassion.

Currently working to complete her diploma in Early Childhood Education and pursue advanced studies in social work or psychology, Serieve continues to write, educate, and advocate — using the written word as both healing and resistance. She believes no story is ever truly beyond hope, and no person beyond reclamation.
