Drea Rose

Drea is a behavioral researcher turned culture writer who is obsessed with the tiny, unspoken patterns that define our relationships. She doesn't care about your "Big Five" personality traits; she wants to know why you keep your phone face-down during dinner and why you’re still holding a grudge against a grocery store clerk from 2019. Based in Chicago, Drea spends her time "people-watching with purpose." Her work on Bolde focuses on the intersection of hidden trauma, social class markers, and the micro-habits that reveal who we actually are when we think nobody is looking.
