Chiang Mai, Thailand — Global Poetry Recognition by Hashtag Kalakar
In a world where people often rush through life without pausing to feel, some writers emerge with a rare ability — the ability to hold emotion, examine it, and translate it into words that speak directly to the soul.
39-year-old poet Shaina E. Cintron, known by her pen name ScIN, is one such creator. Her work is raw, intuitive, deeply human, and shaped by a lifelong journey of observing, surviving, questioning, and ultimately understanding the world through emotion.
Today, Hashtag Kalakar, a respected international platform featuring creative voices from more than 60 countries, proudly shines a spotlight on Shaina as one of the most compelling poetic storytellers of the year. Her writing captures not only beauty, but truth — the painful, the tender, the unspoken, and everything in between.
A Poet Shaped by Beauty, Curiosity, Realism, and the Desire to Understand Human Emotion
Based in the cultural haven of Chiang Mai, Shaina is a poet who sees the world differently – not just as it appears, but as it feels beneath the surface.
She is a realist.
A magic-seeker.
A survivor.
A deeply sensitive soul who believes that every emotion, even the difficult ones, deserves to be understood, not hidden.
Under her pen name ScIN, she explores questions many people avoid:
Why do we act the way we do? What shapes our choices? Where does our humanity go when life becomes too heavy?
Her poetry often reads like both a mirror and a healing balm – revealing truths while offering the reader a rare sense of recognition.
Shaina views writing as an act of restoring humanity, of piecing together the emotions scattered across our experiences, and giving them shape through artistic expression.
A Story Rooted in Silence, Color, and the Courage to Find Her Voice
Shaina’s creative journey did not begin with words – it began with silence.
As a child, she did not have a voice until around the age of ten. But long before she could articulate her feelings verbally, she learned to communicate through color. Through painting, she discovered a language more honest than speech – a language of emotion.
She painted faceless women, symbolic figures created through color therapy, shaping emotion into form. For her, art was not simply creative expression – it was survival, clarity, and the earliest bridge between her inner world and the outer one.
Her transition from painting to writing came through English classes that transformed her relationship with storytelling. She quickly realized that words could do what colors did – they could transform, reveal, heal, and breathe life into the silent spaces of the soul.
From that moment, Shaina’s poetry became a world of its own – a world where emotion has shape, where trauma speaks, where humanity is examined, and where the reader feels seen.
Her mission today is clear:
to help others find their voice – whether through art, writing, or poetry – and to reach those who feel misunderstood, silenced, or trapped in their circumstances.
Through her work, she seeks to return compassion to a world that often forgets its own softness.
A Writer With a Purpose: To Restore Humanity Through Emotion and Perspective
Shaina’s writing asks powerful questions, confronts difficult truths, and offers comfort in the places where the human heart feels most fragile.
Her poetry is not merely a collection of words – it is an experience.
A bridge.
A quiet revolution.
Her work embodies what it means to be deeply human, reminding readers that emotion is not weakness – it is connection. Her stories serve as a safe space for anyone who has felt too much, too deeply, or for too long.
Shaina hopes to continue inspiring others, helping them see that their voice matters, their emotions matter, and their humanity matters.
A Message That Captures Her Spirit
“We were happy with peas on our plates while they feasted on our humanity with a flambadou.”
A haunting reminder of how easily the world consumes our softness – and how vital it is to reclaim it.
