She interviews and photographs people who tried to kill themselves, but have lived through it. She had a lot to tell us about Live Through This, and some valuable advice on how to reach out to your friends or family that might be at risk. You won't want to miss this one.

Live Through This #Stay...captured through the art, the lens, the stories of our lived experience. Adam caught up with Dese'Rae earlier this summer and this conversation is the result. I was listening in on the other line and she blew me away with her everything-ness. Adam would ask her about how she came up with this or that idea and Des would just say something like, "I got bored one day so I wrote this program/created this movie/started this movement." Yes, of course you did and we all benefited.
