SPEAK LIFE SYMPOSIUM
About the Founder
Cheyja Andrews
Cheyja Andrews — known to many as Chey Butta — is a media personality, author, emotional wellness advocate, and the visionary founder of Speak Life, a movement that empowers individuals to heal, reconnect, and awaken to their highest potential through the power of emotional awareness and authentic expression. With over two decades in media and mental wellness, Cheyja is known for her dynamic voice, her ability to connect with people across every walk of life, and her mission to help others find harmony between mind, body, and spirit. A Certified Life Coach, Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP), and a National Mental Health Counsel Instructor, she blends clinical insight with intuitive understanding — teaching people how to move energy, release limitation, and live from wholeness. Her inspiration for the Speak Life Symposium was born from her time touring and the relationship she cultivated with global artist Chris Brown- a connection she now considers family. During that season, Cheyja witnessed the immense pressures, emotional isolation, and constant public scrutiny that often accompany fame. It sparked a revelation: “Celebrities are celebrated for their gifts but rarely supported in their humanity.” That moment became the seed for The Speak Life Symposium — a quarterly mental wellness residency designed specifically for celebrities and public figures. As Chey Butta, she’s graced microphones, stages, and red carpets with grace, humor, and truth — building a reputation as both a cultural connector and a voice of authenticity. As Cheyja Andrews, she brings that same authenticity into the realm of healing and consciousness — inviting others to experience transformation through vulnerability, compassion, and presence. She is also the author of I Didn’t Know I Was God, a journey into self-awareness and the integration of human and higher consciousness. Through her Speak Life audibles, courses, and live workshops, Cheyja guides others in rediscovering their inner power, emotional intelligence, and innate divinity — regardless of background, belief, or culture.
“When we heal ourselves, we elevate the world. When the healed take the stage, the world heals with them.”
