Lenelle Moïse is an award-winning poet, playwright, essayist, college speaker, actress and nationally-touring performance artist. She creates intimate, fiery, politicized, texts about the intersection of race, class, gender, sexuality, spirituality, culture and resistance. Her hip-hop bred, jazz-infused delivery is at once conversational and polished. Fueled by the motto “Words rouse worlds,” she regularly presents interactive performances and workshops that empower diverse groups of people to creatively speak up and act for social change. Equipped with an MFA from Smith College, Moïse has been a guest artist at the United Nations, the Culture Project, the Omega Institute and dozens of colleges and conferences across the United States. Her writing is published in a number of anthologies, including "Word Warriors: 35 Women Leaders in the Spoken Word Revolution," "We Don't Need Another Wave: Dispatches from the Next Generation of Feminists" and "Brassage: An Anthology of Poems by Haitian Women."
