There are a lot of people doing violence prevention, a lot of funds thrown at the problems, and a lot of uninspiring talks and workshops. In contrast, Ras Mo’s use of song, theater, and interactive exercises has a transformative and motivational impact on people and allows them to develop innovative projects with others to address violence. He is truly one of our most creative and effective voices.

With the use of Popular Theater, the young people we worked with from the Mission District were able to name all of the issues at the forefront of their experience…. It was beautiful to bear witness to the youth, and it instilled pride in each of them. Mr. Moses kept social justice at the forefront of the conversation, as the participants were from communities where race and class issues are very much present, and addressed these sensitive issues with respect and humility.

I have personally witnessed Mr. Moses’ incredible work and ability to connect people from all walks of life for the greater cause of raising public awareness on domestic, dating and community violence. He is able to address this taboo subject with grace and respect to all people.

Every day that I spent with Mr. Moses in my classroom was a learning experience even though I have been teaching in New Haven Public Schools for 29 years. We have felt a tremendous loss since he has been gone. Mr. Moses would be an asset to any program that involves media and youth. I recommend him without hesitation.

Youth alumni of YRM, who Ras Mo worked with over five years ago, still talk about things he taught them and recite lines from his well-loved poems and songs about identity, gender socialization, and overcoming community violence. His body of experience and impressive multimedia work is an asset to any youth program or school.

Ras Mo is hip, current, and his message of non-violence and respect for women and culture is spot on. He will help any group transition to the next level by helping people bring forth what is deep inside them, merging those thoughts and feelings with technology for instant buy-in.

Ras Mo Moses is one of the most creative, caring performance artists and community healers I have ever worked with. He understands the importance of laughter, love and connection in a person’s struggle to live. His sensitivity to the effects of violence on our children is critical to his ability to bring others to explore a better world through the arts.
