About Me

The Story Behind the Name: I was born in Washington, DC. My name poetically/vocally is Shea Butter(fly). I got the name from my fellow poet Lee the Poet (www.illpoets.com). He began calling me Shea Butter, and as time went on my other fellow poets noticed that I have taken a liking to butterflies so hence the name Shea Butter(fly).

What I do: I am an artist. I draw, I paint, I sing, I write, and I design. I play sports (softball & Basketball). I rarely watch television, and most of the time listen to music all day. I volunteer. I freelance. I perform, go to open mics, and support my friends and the poets that have become my surrogate fam.
