About

PoeticButterfly is an Award-Winning Spoken Word Artist who's been sharing her F.L.O.E. (Fearless Liberation of Expression) since the Fall of 2011. She fell in love with words in the 3rd grade but prior to loving words she was deficient in reading and writing them.

There was no desire for either subject until an elementary teacher realized her weakness and helped turn that weakness into a gain. Once the skill & comprehension of reading and writing set in, her fascination with words crystallized into an expressive flight.

PoeticButterfly was a closet writer for many years. She was too nervous to share her stories and too afraid to expose her vulnerabilities. The sound of her very own voice at times would cause her to retreat into the comfort & confinements of her cocoon. But when she finally faced her anxieties and closed the gate on her fears numerous doors began to open.

Spoken Word for PoeticButterfly is freedom. It's the catalyst that helps her meditate & put life into an inhabitable perspective. She writes about personal experiences; love, pain, humor, history, people she's had the pleasure of meeting & those who she observes from afar.

PoeticButterfly is captivating. Her charisma draws you in and holds you attentive with each verse that glides from her spirit into the floetic currents of the wind.

She articulates from the heart with a goal of providing significance and inspiration for others through her smooth & rhythmical floe.

PoeticButterfly features & hosts numerous events and is considered one of the best in the spoken word industry.

Additional Booking Notes

I don't require much other than good quality equipment for sound if needed and an audience who are attentive when I'm sharing my Floe. No chaos in the background (loud talk and/or frequent disturbances)

I have my own equipment as well.
