Who is Desirée Lama?
My informal introduction goes as follows: I am just a human trying to figure out this life one day at a time. Like most people, I aim to be as unapologetically myself as possible each and every day. I am an avid lover of sharks, cats, and clothes. I don’t know what each moment will bring forth, but I will thrive through it all with my loved ones by my side. And above all, I am just a girl 💜
