PoeticButterfly is an award-winning spoken word artist, transformational speaker, author, creative entrepreneur, and the visionary behind What’s Your F.L.O.E.?—Fearless Liberation of Expression.
Her story with words began long before she ever stepped onto a stage.
As a child, PoeticButterfly struggled to read and write. By the third grade, she had not yet developed the skills that came naturally to many of her classmates. She often felt quiet, withdrawn, and unsure of where her voice belonged. Until a teacher took an interest in her.
That teacher saw something beyond the struggle. He took the time to teach PoeticButterfly how to read and write and that gave her more than a skill.
It opened a door.
A door to language.
A door to imagination.
A door to possibility.
A door to her voice.
Years later, the little girl who once struggled to put words on a page would become a woman who puts her words on stages.
Today, PoeticButterfly uses those same tools—words, storytelling, poetry, and expression to inspire others to discover the power within their own voice.
Her journey is a living reminder that sometimes the thing you struggle with in one chapter can become the very thing that gives you purpose in another.
The girl who couldn't read the words… became a woman who writes them.
The girl who struggled to find her voice… became a woman who uses hers to move others.
Through spoken word, transformational speaking, workshops, writing, and creative experiences, PoeticButterfly creates spaces where people can pause, reflect, reconnect with themselves, and explore what becomes possible when they stop silencing their authentic expression.
She is the author of Closed Chapters "Memoirs of a Poet", a transformational literary and spoken-word experience that blends memoir, poetry, reflection, and writing prompts to help readers close chapters while keeping the wisdom.
At the heart of her work is F.L.O.E.—Fearless Liberation of Expression.
For PoeticButterfly, F.L.O.E. is more than an acronym.
It is a way of living.
It is giving yourself permission to speak.
To create.
To evolve.
To tell your story.
To take up space.
To become.
Because she knows firsthand that a voice can be developed, a story can be rewritten, and one person believing in your potential can open a door you didn't know existed.
Find your voice.
Free your expression.
FLOE forward.
