My name is Cheyan Lefebvre.
I am an author, graphic designer, motion graphic designer, and illustrator.
I am the author behind the Tall N Curly comics and the children’s book Asha and the Spiritz.
I was bullied from age 5 to 16. Then I had to endure another form of bullying from age 17 to 27. More generally, I’ve had problems in my relationships (friends, family, love) for most of my life, essentially because I was bullied at school as a child and as a teenager.
I have spent my life trying to recover from those years. Sometimes I thought I had, only to lose my precious balance again and again.
I just spent three of the most difficult years of my life.
After finding myself alone for the first time since the age of 16, when I met the man I thought I would spend the rest of my life with, I had to sit down and talk with someone: that part of myself I had always tried to escape from.
From my conversations with her was born Zabeth, my life as a vampire.
As I did myself, children who are bullied often do everything in their power to hide it from their family. And they’re usually very good at it.
Today, I hope that by addressing children who are being bullied at school, but parents who may be missing out on the drama their daughter or son is going through, Zabeth will help at least one child out there.
And if she helps one and only one, it will have been worth it.
