Nita L. Chase—lovingly named Nita Louise by her mother, Erma Lee Johnson—was born and raised in Clarksdale, Mississippi. From childhood, her words took shape long before she could hold their weight, revealing early on her God-given gift to express faith, love, and life through poetry and storytelling.
A Life of Words and Impact
Today, Nita crafts poetry, short stories, plays, and spoken word events with reverence and passion. She is a Distinguished Toastmaster, founder of Let’s PO-ET (Pour Out Empowerment Together), Amazon Best-Selling Author, and Nuyorican Poets Cafe Finalist. Works like Whisper Epiphany and Passion Speaks let her soul breathe across every page.
Service, Stage, and Leadership
Across the U.S., Nita delivers spirited, hope-filled performances and motivational poetry, earning recognition as a featured poet and two-time Delta Sigma Theta Author on Tour. She serves as a lawyer and Family Master Judge at Chase Chase & Associates with her husband, and has led at Victory International Christian Center for over 24 years, embodying God-driven passion in all she does.
She Says
"Poetry is my whisper
breathed through uncensored lips
and oft times my shout
about the other one's eclipse
It's my own dance of words
and rendition of word play
and with each poem exhaled
my soul sings that day."
