ME!
Dese’Rae L. Stage is a 25 year old multimedia artist, troublemaker, & blogger extraordinaire based in New York City. She is originally from Miami, Florida, but has traveled the states extensively. She has a B.S., appropriately, in psychology with minors in philosophy and creative writing. She works in the music industry. She spends her time obsessing over music and literature, snapping off photos, hopping planes like taxis hailed, dancing badly, and sating her internet addiction. She likes dark chocolate and vodka and has met several of her heroes.
