Sage Bliss Rios Mace is a Bay Area, creative writer and journalist. In 2020, her work as a political columnist won first place in the Bay Area Journalism Awards. Currently, she is the staff writer and curator for Analog Cases,’ The Program as well as Derby of San Francisco’s, THE415.

Sage’s writing enfolds prose into reporting to investigate the issues and places close to her heart—from the gentrification of her family’s motherland, Puerto Rico to her city of San Francisco. Sage received her B.A. from the University of San Francisco’s Department of Sociology and with an Honors Concentration. Her graduation thesis, and largest project to date, investigates experiences of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) through an intersectional lens. The project will culminate to advocate for further research funding and awareness of PMDD.
