Shatera

Shatera is a poet with a tender heart and a quiet resilience that runs deep. After entering foster care at 14 and weathering storms of financial struggle, she’s now a full-time substitute teacher and a university junior chasing a degree in English, with dreams of one day shaping stories in the world of publishing.

She came to us dreaming of exercise equipment like weights, a mat, and clothing. With that dream fulfilled by a Dream Maker, she’s now able to nurture a life of wellness that’s sustainable, strong, and rooted in self-love!

In her own words, “I may seem like a strong person, but deep down I wish people would understand the feelings that I hide.”

Her poetry has earned awards, but it’s her unseen strength that inspires most!
