Diabolically Haitian, the poetic alter ego of Schai Schairer, is a captivating spoken word lyricist and advocate who weaves her unique identity of being a masculine-presenting, gay woman adopted from Haiti.

She stands as an unwavering advocate for women incarcerated, adoptees, and LGBTQ individuals of color, rejecting the label of being a voice for the voiceless. Instead, she builds the stage and passes the mic, with the belief that those who are closest to the pain need to be closest to the mic.

For Diabolically Haitian, poetry has proven to be a saving grace multiple times, and her stanzas have been known to penetrate souls while shifting and challenging perspectives.

Beyond the stage, Schai's commitment to social change shines. She's pioneering ways to bring the healing power of poetry into unlikely places, including prisons, through her Trauma-Informed Curriculum and Train the Trainer Program.

Her work has caught the attention for many social justice stakeholders and community members. She has received Montgomery County Serves Award, Daily Record Leading Women 40 Under 40, and the Governors Service Award.

Diabolically Haitian is not just an artist but a force of nature, embodying the intersection of identity and poetic expression. Her journey is an inspiring testament to the boundless potential of embracing one's true self.

Whether you book her for a feature, her Train the Trainer program, Trauma- Informed Curriculum, or Keynote speaking, or consulting Schai will leave you speechless and asking for more.

Diabolical
By Diabolically Haitian

She was diabolically produced 

chemically induced

forcefully seduced

but refuse to tie a noose

around her neck so the devil could get a piece of her mind 

as she tried to unwind its sanity she finds as she writes with this pen 

turning pain into poems and a hospital into her own private den
