Rae's Story

At the heart of every great story is a moment of play—a spark, a shift, a quiet curiosity that dares to ask: what if?

Rae at Play was born from that spark.

​

Rae Shaw is a storyteller, a professor, an artist, and a filmmaker—but more than that, she is a believer in the power of creativity as self-reclamation. Her brand isn’t about crafting perfect stories; it’s about uncovering the ones that are already living inside us—layered through lived experience, personal history, and untapped imagination.

Imagine a table scattered with paintbrushes, notebooks, film strips, and sticky notes. There’s movement. There’s mess. There’s color. That’s Rae at Play.

​

It’s not just a brand. It’s a creative invitation:
--To write your way through what you’ve lived.
--To reel in the moments you thought were lost.
--To sketch out the patterns and themes that keep showing up—and transform them into art.

​

Rae at Play is a space where memory meets metaphor, and where lived experience becomes your most powerful writing tool. Whether through book writing, screenwriting, journaling, or storytelling on camera, Rae helps others explore the playful, profound connection between personal story and creative voice.

​

It’s the serious magic of storytelling—told through the lens of joy, movement, and reflection.

​

Because when we give ourselves permission to play, we start to uncover the narratives that shaped us—and the stories we were always meant to tell.
