Leah Stella Stephens, known most prominently by her internet persona as Stellabelle, was born in Los Angeles, The United States. She received her B. A. in Japanese from the University of Kansas in 1994. She is from Kansas City, Missouri. [1] She has lived in Kansas City, Chicago, Tucson, Tokyo and San Diego.

She is a prolific and talented writer popularly known as @Stellabelle on medium and Steemit. She describes herself as a blockchain flaneur. She joined Steemit in June 2016 and shared in her #introduceyourself post: “My ideal life would be to be 100% free, financially independent and working for the commons. I'm driven by communal goals more than anything else. Nikola Tesla's ideas on wireless energy for everyone greatly inspire me”.[2]

Teen model for Elite NY and Chicago

In a post published on May 2017 in Steemit she told being a model from age 15 to 18 and actively starved herself during the entire time. She quit modelling at age 18, drove to Canada. Four months later checked into a mental ward for her eating disorder. The stuff she experienced was the usual: cocaine at parties, pressure from managers to starve, older men hitting on young models, and a crushing anorexia which permeated the entire scene. She fell victim to eating disorders and other unpalatable extremes that no one talks about.[3]

When modelling she lived in Tokyo at age 18, in a closet-sized bedroom, packed in like a sardine with two other models. In the Steemit's post, she revealed: “There was very little glamour involved. Money and commodification of young girls' bodies don't involve any glamour. Oh and by the way, if your daughter says she wants to model, please talk her out of it. It's largely a scam that might give you a disease, in the form of anorexia or drug addiction. There are better options nowadays. Just say no if you care for your child at all”.[3]

How she got on Steemit

In 2016, Stellabelle was a freelance science and tech writer making $2000 per month. While researching online for her job at Interesting Engineering, she found an article on steemit, and she joined Steemit and made her way up to become a Whale. [4]

She also created the Steemicide Hotline and Steem Gnome in Steemit and registered and collaborated in this wiki: User:Stellabelle (contributions). Here in Steem.center she created and updated the wiki pages about her projects and also about Steemit co-founder Dan Larimer.

In November 29, 2017, she announced a new project called Slothicorn.[5] Part of the Open Source and Creative Commons movements, Slothicorn focuses on the emerging art known as cryptoart. “This includes, but not limited to: cryptogames, art containing crypto paper wallets, art containing cryptographic puzzles, art containing cryptocurrency logos and themes, art that visualizes decentralization, blockchain tech, crypto vs. fiat, a cartoon of Jamie Dimon’s head exploding, you get the idea. Slothicorn may look cute, but its claws are symbolic of the memory of fraud that the bankers and predatory lenders committed during the recession of 2008."[6]
