As a talented wordsmith, Shelly uses writing as a means to process life's moments publicly and privately. Her words empower and inspire others and she uses them as a way to positively impact her community. There's no limit to what she writes. Poetry. Short Stories. Books. Curriculums. Resumes. She simply Loves to write!
Shelly Conley graced her first public stage in 2003 and never stopped performing. She’s known by her listeners as “gifted", "inspirational", “illustrator" and "amazing", to quote a few. Her writing is reflective, forgiving and creates a call to action for the listeners. Shelly is a 7 time member of Milwaukee’s National Poetry Slam Team. She is a go-to poetic feature for local and national recording artists and may be found performing at a school, corporate event, birthday or wedding celebration and occasionally, at a local open mic.
As a former retail leader, Shelly has facilitated trainings for 30 years. This, combined with her creativity makes her the perfect co-facilitator for My Sista's KeepHer (MSK) workshops. MSK uses poetry and writing to eradicate the societal ills that diminish girls’ ability to achieve their dreams and live healthy, safe and productive lives. MSK educates, advocates, encourages and inspires young girls and women to Love themselves and each other.
Shelly also facilitates her own writing workshops, has been on several panels and hosts events, usually centered around bringing women together, working with youth and community and building sisterhood.
