As the Spoken Word Artist for your event you can expect more than just a performance. I'm a storyteller and a lyrical architect of emotion. I'm known for weaving raw honesty with poetic finesse, who transforms lived experience into rhythmic, resonant narratives that command attention. Each piece is a powerful blend of voice, presence, and vulnerability.
You can also expect audience engagement and a dynamic delivery. My work lives at the intersection of poetry and performance, where syllables carry weight and silence holds meaning. With every cadence and gesture, I invite listeners to feel deeply, think critically, and connect universally. The kind of energy that echoes long after the final line.
PoeticButterfly is a 4x 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, comprehension and writing them.
PoeticButterfly was unconscious regarding the impact of words until her elementary teacher realized her weakness and helped turn it into a conscious 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. 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.
Good quality equipment for sound (if needed) and an audience who are attentive while performing. No chaos in the background (loud talk and/or frequent disturbances)
