TIGERTAIL presents

SPEAKOUT with LENELLE MOISE

Haitian-American powerhouse Lenelle Moïse is an award-winning poet, playwright, essayist, composer 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.
