Social Butterfly

… In some eyes I am the
Same as I once was,
But now I have evolved,
Like the crescent moon
And the rising of the
Sun and the moon, like
A caterpillar slowly
Dancing in the wind …

Shakeria Camper is a woman of faith who loves to strengthen and uplift others. In her debut compilation of poetry, she shares inspirational reflections from a women’s prospective while exploring a vast array of emotions, her identity, and steadfast faith in God.

In poems that compare love to a flower in bloom, sadness to a dark cloud, and agony to a sweltering desert, Camper intertwines complex emotions
with the beauty and unpredictability of nature as she reflects on life, love , and heartache. Included in her collection is a touching verse that highlights
a mother’s unconditional love, the agony of being torn between good and evil, and the power of a woman’s intuition.

Social Butterfly offers a lyrical glimpse into a woman’s soul as she emerges from her cocoon and learns to spread her wings.
