About
Hi, I’m LaShae.
Poet, author and storyteller, living in Nashville by way of Las Vegas and New York. I’m a wife, a former special education teacher, a curly-hair girlie, plant-based, and rooted in my faith.
It took me years of posting to realize I don’t have a niche. I have a life, and I’m learning to live it fully enough to have something worth saying about it. If you’re becoming too, come with me.
this is ShaeButter.
Work With Me
I tell people what it felt like to be there.
Speaking & readings
Spoken word, author talks and workshops on writing, grief, becoming and belonging, for schools, libraries, churches and community events.
Brand storytelling
Nashville hospitality, spas, cafés, plant-based dining, natural hair and local makers. Experienced first, then told beautifully.
Gatherings
Poetry nights, cozy suppers and creative workshops built around warmth, welcome and good conversation.
my filter: would I genuinely want to experience this and bring my people along?
