Sade Rena, currently works, lives, plays and attend school in the Washington, D.C. Area. With the help of mentors and friends of the DC Creative Writing Workshop, she realized early on just how important writing is to her. At age 12 she dabbled in poetry while attending Charles Hart Middle School, where she's written several pieces for "Hart Works," the school's magazine. But it was during her time at Goldsboro High School, in Goldsboro, NC, that she decided that the life of a writer was perfect for her.
