| The voice (in Aqua Beats and Moon Verses: Volume I) is strong and brave, often swirling and soaring with the zeal of true spiritual questing. The writing style is hip, colorful and there is a wonderful buzz of energy in the writing (and the music) that makes you want to bust through every wall of bs and suppression. It’s like a new age Allen Ginsberg rant at America, spelled with a k. These poets are all about encouraging African-American woman to free themselves in order to self-define their roles in the Black community, hip hop culture and overall society. --Cheryl Reeves Feminist Review (click here for full-length review) There are centuries of untold stories imprinted on the souls of Black womyn. Aqua Beats and Moon Verses gives a voice to these soul tales, healing those fighting to be heard and all who listen. Armed with the strength and wisdom of the ancestors and the promise of a lasting legacy for future generations, camil. williams (Aqua) and veronica precious bohanan (Moon) are creative vessels, transforming the culture of wom(b)anhood--one word at a time. --Sandria M. Washington, Editor-at-Large Brown Gurl Magazine Aqua Beats and Moon Verses is not just a womon's story, it's one of the most artistic pieces of social commentary I've seen in a long time. A refreshing showcase of edutainment infused with soul, poetry, hip-hop, jazz, song & dance, that tells every girl and woman's story. The choreopoem genuinely deserves a long stage run, as it's a must see for young womyn... The book is a must own! -- Amina, President Chicago Hip-Hop Initiative Artist, Urbanized Music Before Aqua Beats and Moon Verses, we only had, for colored girls… to edify us.
