Angela Butler
Over the years in my Profession as a Therapy Assistant, I’ve worked in several different Community Centers such as United Cerebral Palsy and the Epileptic foundation. These institutions has given me a receptive view of life and I’ve developed compassion with the satisfaction of knowing that I can make a difference. I’ve also done charitable work for the Glory House, an organization for less fortunate women who are transitioning in the effort towards getting their lives back on the right track. These humbling experiences are one of the reasons why I am inspired to write poetry. My dreams and aspirations are being able to create a safe haven for less fortunate children and women, because we are bonded naturally and spiritually.

First and foremost: I would like to give thanks to my heavenly Father. Thanks for instilling in me the ability to express myself in a way that may change lives. Everything I’ve experienced in life has been a blessing to me. I would like to thank my mom and dad for granting me life. I love my parents very much. They were always very protective of my brothers and I. They made sure our family stayed together and we always had what we needed. Most of all we had a lot of prayer in our home.
To my daughters: Shantavia Chivon Butler and Alisia Lola Diamond Isaac. I would like to specially thank them for giving me the joy of being a proud mother. You girls have always been an inspiration to me since the day you both were born. Girls you mean the world to me and I love you so much.
