Meet the IMverse
The people behind the impossible possibilities
A woman can create room where there was none and still have nowhere to rest. A man can hear what everyone else misses and struggle to make his own dreams heard.
Welcome to the IMverse, created by Dr. Sagashus Levingston. Here, mothers have extraordinary gifts, complicated histories, children, businesses, desires, and people they love. We follow what happens when their abilities meet the lives they are trying to build.
Meet the women at the center of this universe, along with the partners, children, friends, and other people whose lives move with theirs. Their gifts matter. So do the care they receive, the choices they make, and the consequences they carry.
Begin with Raven and Micah. Follow their stories in The Weekly Wench, where a character’s question opens a coaching session for the woman reading.
Raven Davenport
The Space Maker
A Chicago mother of three and studio owner who can make a room bigger. Finding room for herself asks something different of her.
Micah
The listener with dreams of his own
Raven’s partner and the father of their three children. He can stay present in a hard conversation, even as his incarceration keeps him physically apart from the people he loves.
Real people belong here too
The IMverse also makes room for real people and the work they create. Real-life profiles will be clearly identified and kept distinct from our fictional characters.
About these characters
The IMverse was created by Dr. Sagashus Levingston. Raven and Micah are fictional composites, not portraits of individual real women, partners, families, or coaching clients. The work draws on the questions at the heart of Infamous Mothers: whose stories get told, whose possibilities get imagined, and what it takes to build a life with room for the whole woman.
AI tools assist with drafting, organization, and illustrations under Dr. Sagashus’s creative direction.
