Mission Statement:

LVnTheLife is a Public Benefits Corporation giving worldwide exposure to the disabled, provide for the helpless, and empower the local artistic talent through digital engagement.

Our Story:

LVnTheLife, a Public Benefits Corporation, is a social media advertising and marketing brand founded by Social Media Director Tim Schramm (a.k.a. LV) who was born with a learning disability and epileptic disorder. LV fell in love with acting as a child and his mother did all she could to pursue his dreams despite his disability. Unfortunately, LV was rejected or often scammed. When LV grew up he became a talent scout in Las Vegas and Los Angeles which led him into reaching his potential as an actor and had the opportunity to work with major motion pictures. However, in doing so he kept his disability confidential while rejecting talents for the same reason he was rejected when he was a child. Discouraged, LV felt the need to stop hiding his disability and to find means for other disabled artists to reach their potential in the entertainment industry. In 2008 he founded LVnTheLife building a large social media following to help the disabled find voice in their community and the world. Today his Instagram that he had single-handedly organically built stands at 117k followers and "LView '' is featured. LVnTheLife also recently launched a TikTok page that now stands at 20.8k followers!

“My name is Corbin Heinchon and I have been the editor for LView for the past three years. Working with Yelena and Tim has been nothing but amazing, and watching their show grow into what it is today has been inspiring. I started working with them because I admired their work with the disabled and otherwise marginalized communities, and the show has never lost sight of those values. Art can only survive if people know about it, and highlighting people and groups that are far too often forgotten about is central to what art is, and that is what LView provides, a space for sometimes overlooked people and groups to really showcase their work.” - Corbin Heinchon, Chief Editor

"My time with LV and Lena was so enjoyable.  Instead of feeling like I was being formally interviewed, I felt I was having a conversation with new friends over tea.  It was a mutually inspiring experience.  Thank you LVnTheLife!" - Sara Jane Parsons, Mouth Painter from Austin, TX
