@deseraestage

I'm Dese'Rae L. Stage, and I'm a Philadelphia based artist, public speaker, and suicide awareness activist. I'm the creator of Live Through This, a series of portraits and stories of suicide attempt survivors across the United States. Live Through This has been covered by The New York Times, Upworthy, The Associated Press, and more. I speak about my experiences with suicidality and self-injury at universities and conferences nationwide. I've written for Cosmopolitan, xoJane, and The Huffington Post. I'm internet famous because I got legally [gay] married, and subsequently legally [gay] divorced. Barf. There was also that Glenn Beck thing. And that weird sex scandal when I was younger. I live with my wife and our cobbled together menagerie of pets. I'm consistently drawn to good books, good coffee, text as visual art, and the long, drawn-out process of turning my own body into a quietly inked pictorial memoir.

This could’ve been cute, but Theo clearly loves the outdoors about as much as I do. #babbystarcia #indoorsy (at Louisburg, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0y9ESwD_07/?igshid=11mw4lpzgc3wv

A year ago today: my final #IVF embryo transfer. I guess my little Theo embryo thought my uterine lining was fluffy enough, so she decided to stay. #babbystarcia https://www.instagram.com/p/B0vpeOPjU84/?igshid=125fhjb5wx7sb
