What to expect

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.

About

PoeticButterfly is a force of nature: a visionary, an award-winning spoken word artist, a transformative speaker, and the Owner/Founder of F.L.O.E. Fashions (Fearless Liberation Of Expression).

Her journey with words began in the 3rd grade, long before she mastered them. Once struggling to read, write, and comprehend, she discovered the power of language through a teacher who saw her potential before she saw it in herself. What began as a weakness soon evolved into wings.. and PoeticButterfly was born.

She started off writing quietly, hiding her truth in notebooks and journals, afraid to expose her voice. Vulnerability felt dangerous. Expression felt too raw. But when she finally stepped out of her cocoon and onto the stage, everything shifted. Doors opened. Confidence heightened. Purpose revealed. And her Fearless Liberation Of Expression took flight.

As a spoken word artist, PoeticButterfly is electric. Her performances blend poetry, truth, humor, soul, and spiritual insight in ways that captivate audiences and linger long after the mic drops. She writes from real experiences and the unforgettable people she’s encountered along the way. Her voice has become a beacon for those seeking healing, freedom, and authenticity.

As the Founder/Owner of F.L.O.E. Fashions, she infuses her artistic vision into a brand that empowers individuals to wear their truth and walk boldly in their purpose. Her designs are not trends they are declarations of resilience, identity, and unapologetic self-love. Fashion becomes expression. Expression becomes liberation.

As a Transformative Speaker, Margarita aka PoeticButterfly brings all of her identities to the stage the entrepreneur, the poet, the healed woman, the fashion designer and the steward of the Most High. Her talks are immersive: part performance, part revelation, part spiritual awakening. She speaks on relationships, business, empowerment, identity, faith, and the courage to break free from cultural and emotional bondage.

Whether she is mentoring young creatives, building her fashion empire, or delivering a poem that silences a room into stillness, PoeticButterfly stands firmly in her mission:
To ignite the Fearless Liberation of Expression in everyone she encounters.

Her life, her art, and her legacy are more than gifts
they are movement,
they are ministry,
they are transformation in motion.
