Hi! I'm Benita. I’m an ACD living in NYC. I was the first @benita on Venmo (a legend among the other Benita’s). I spend a shocking amount of time watching International House Hunters. And if you want me to, I can order a bottle of wine for the table. That should tell you nothing you need to know about me. Better to email me at antony.benita@gmail.com.
