About
PoeticButterfly is an award-winning Spoken Word Artist, Transformational Speaker, Author, and Brand Owner whose work lives at the intersection of words, self-expression, transformation, and personal liberation.
Her journey has been shaped by a deep curiosity about life, identity, consciousness, and the stories people carry within them. Through poetry, storytelling, writing, and speaking, she invites people to look beyond what they have been taught and reconnect with what they already know within themselves.
She is the author of Closed Chapters "Memoirs of a Poet" a transformational experience designed to help readers reflect, release, remember, and move forward with wisdom. More than just a book, Closed Chapters is also a spoken-word album that encourages readers to examine the narratives they have inherited, recognize the chapters they have outgrown, and understand that closing a chapter does not mean losing its wisdom.
Her creative expression extends through F.L.O.E. — Fearless Liberation Of Expression, a movement and brand centered around the freedom to express one's authentic self. Through her work, she asks a simple but powerful question: “What’s Your F.L.O.E.?”
Whether she is standing on a stage, performing poetry, leading a workshop, writing, or engaging an audience through conversation, PoeticButterfly creates experiences that encourage people to think differently, feel deeply, and remember that their voice has value.
Her message is not about becoming someone else. It is about uncovering the person who has been there all along.
PoeticButterfly’s spoken word is poetry with a pulse, an experience designed not simply to be heard, but to be felt, questioned, and remembered. Her work blends storytelling, wordplay, introspection, rhythm, and powerful observations about life, identity, consciousness, love, growth, and self-discovery.
She has a unique ability to take ordinary words and uncover the extraordinary meanings hidden inside them. Through clever linguistic exploration and layered messages, she invites audiences to pause and look at familiar ideas from an entirely different perspective.
Her performances are both thought-provoking and transformational, often turning a single word, question, or experience into a doorway for deeper reflection.
This isn't poetry that simply tells you what to think.
It gives you something to think about.
Her words create space for audiences to examine the stories they've accepted, release what no longer belongs to them, and discover their own voice, rhythm, and expression.
Her spoken word doesn't just rhyme, it reveals.
Close the chapters. Keep the wisdom.
May the FLOE be with you. 🦋
