Moore has garnered an international reputation for her music and poetry as the artist who has helped define the power of Black music with her blend of “funk, hip-hop, soul and rock.” According to her bio, “Her theatre show, Alpha Phobia, is a semi-autographical sketch about a female poet who believes the alphabet is trying to kill her.” Her preoccupation with the alphabet extends to her second book, The Alphabet Versus The Ghetto.
