A creative by nature I believe expressive arts are a love language. Poetry saved my life when I was a silently depressed teen. It's been my hope to take my creativity and touch the lives of those I am blessed to share with. Whether it's piecing together words for a custom gift, bringing the vibes to a paint party, or sharing my heart via a spoken-word or fine art piece.
I am no stranger to the stage as I co-hosted a spoken-word TV show, which aired on Time Warner Cable's Faith on Demand. I have shared the stage with billboard chart topping artists
PLEASE NOTE: My paint parties START at $500 with a 10 painter minimum. Discounts are available for large party sizes.
The group loved her. We ended up having a smaller group than originally planned and some other hiccups but she was easy going and made adjustments which worked out perfectly.
Response from E Dot Marie:
Thank you so much for having me! It was a beautiful day, and congratulations again!!
E Dot ran two poetry workshops and performed spoken word for our urban youth retreat. She related well to our high school students and performed inspired poems that fit our theme well.
Estee’s poetry fed our soul. In hearing her speak; her timing and delivery was perfect for our family and friends of all ages.
She was personable. I love the fact that she sent me over a draft recording for review prior to my dad’s Celebration of Life tribute. Thanks again! MJ
Estee was an absolute amazing performer. From the beginning process of booking her till the end of the show, she was easy to work with and can't wait to book her again.
Not to mention her spoken word was so deep it had some people tearing up in the crowd.
Price Range: $500 and up
When E Dot Marie takes the stage, expect to hear a vulnerable sharing of the heart that will captivate your audience.
FOR PAINT PARTIES: Expect to have a good time and your quick questions to be answered. I'm facilitating a fun experience for you and your guest.
Mental Wellness Heart Pour Sessions are a therapeutic experience that allows you to slow down and tap into yourself to do a head/heart check which we often forget to do in this face paced life we are living.
California-born and raised Nigerian-American creative hoping to leave a positive impact on this world through the Arts. I discovered poetry in 8th grade and that was my lifesaver, being a young depressed girl who was unsure of herself. I have come a long way and have since graced many stages across Los Angeles, produced a few events, and co-hosted a spoken word television show called SPEAK which aired on Time Warner Cable's Faith on Demand channel.
I am also a visual artist that does paint parties and makes custom Resin work. My Heart Pour sessions were birthed from a place of processing grief after losing my mother unexpectedly. They are designed to assess emotions and navigate headspace to leave you more self-aware.
