Check out Amanda's conversation with Shay.thepoet !

Shataysha Byrd was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. Shataysha originally started poetry in fifth grade but did not get the courage to perform in front of an audience until 20 years old. After the first performance, she knew the stage was her home from that moment on. Then the pandemic took a different turn in the world that stopped many different artists from performing and or producing. This did not stop Shay.thepoet, it instead has opened up a new world for her. Since the pandemic, she has performed in Atlanta, Los Angles, Florida, Ohio, and many other states. Shay is the first Poetry Me Please grand slam champion and has many goals and aspirations for the future.
