Lisa Butler

Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, Lisa Butler has always had a passion for helping people, the arts, being creative and writing. In 2003, not long after she became a mother, she jumped head-first into the world of Full-Figured modeling. Lisa produced shows and even placed in the Miss Full-Figured Metropolitan competition. A few years later, she decided to hone in on another one of her gifts, exhortation. Lisa began doing motivational speaking for women’s groups, with areas of concentration like raising self-esteem and becoming a better woman. Through working as a Program Coordinator for a non-profit organization, she learned how to plan events and began doing so for the church she attends, The Pillar Worship Center. In 2011, Lisa self-published her first novel, Damaged Goods. Even though she has always written poetry and short stories, this was her greatest accomplishment as a writer. She engages readers by evoking emotions ranging from happiness to anger to joy.
