This article offers some critical reflections on Womb-Words Thirsting, a solo performance by Haitian-American poet, actress, playwright, Lenelle Moïse. This work, which is “delivered, slam-style, from the gut” tackles issues of race, class, gender, immigration, religion and sexuality. I introduce the Kréyol term Rasanblé—a conscious process of gathering previously scattered selves for the sake of self-making to reveal the strategic ways Moïse expertly deploys her craft and her multiple identities to give herself full subjectivity and in the process pluralize notions of Haiti and Haitians in the diaspora
