“Lenelle Moïse and her performance were a tour de force. Womb- Words, Thirsting was engaging, thought-provoking and entertaining from the first vocal expression to the last word, and the audience would have been more than happy to hear more. Lenelle’s willingness to engage with students and community members on a personal and intimate level through group discussions and workshops went above and beyond, and left students and faculty clamoring for a return engagement. The subjects touched upon in Lenelle’s work are critically important for college students to examine and ponder. Lenelle leaves them with plenty to think about, and, hopefully, a broader mind with which to do the thinking.”
-Holly L. Cargill-Cramer, Director of Communications and Public Affairs @ SUNY Cobleskill

“Moïse’s work is so much more than a good beat. From recounting a childhood fight to meditating on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Moïse refuses to dissociate her personal experience from the broadly political. ” -Claire Schwartz, Williams College student
