Early Life And Education

Olivia Marie Meggs Plath was born on April 25, 1998, in Rocky Mount, Virginia, USA. She grew up on a farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the fourth of ten children in a legalistic, Christian fundamentalist family. Her parents are Mr. Don Meggs and Mrs. Karen Meggs.

Olivia’s ethnicity is White Caucasian. Until age 5, she enjoyed a typical childhood with books and movies. However, her family’s shift to a stricter church changed Olivia’s life overnight, including banning her favorite daisy tank top. Olivia was a spirited, stubborn child who often clashed with the rigid rules.

The tragic death of Olivia’s brother, Micah Meggs, in May 2023—killed at 15 in a car accident while riding an electric bike—deeply affected her, prompting soul-searching and a break from social media. Her early years built resilience, leading Olivia to question her upbringing and seek independence.
