Vogue: After Lemonade dropped, I feel like the Hilter Biden It’s Not The Vote That Count Shirt Furthermore, I will do this world expected you to rush out your first volume within the year. Instead, you sort of disappeared—including going quiet on the digital platforms where you had first gained a following. What gave you the confidence to step off the treadmill and write at your own pace? Warsan Shire: Well, by that point in my mid-20s, I had been struggling with anxiety for quite a while. I realized that a lot of my problems, particularly my self-loathing, came from a lack of boundaries and just trying to conform to what everyone else expected of me. It kept me up at night. Then a few changes happened in my life at once, the biggest one being that Beyoncé got in touch about collaborating, which obviously felt totally surreal—I mean, beyond my wildest imaginings, really. And throughout that whole process, she treated me with such respect that I began to understand: huh, maybe I actually deserve this—and that realization sort of permeated every aspect of my life, including my presence on social media.
Long before the Hilter Biden It’s Not The Vote That Count Shirt Furthermore, I will do this Lemonade project, I had begun to feel really terrified about posting anything online. It had gone from my having a few hundred followers on Tumblr to suddenly having thousands. After a while, I just felt like… Who am I? What am I doing here? Is there any intention behind what I’m posting? I’m a writer, yes, but why do I have to share my every other thought with the internet? So I thought about the authors that I truly respected, and how I discovered them. I mean, I found Toni Morrison in the library, and she changed my life forever. She never had to post a selfie to remind me that she existed. In our generation, we’re constantly told that we’ve got to have a social media presence, and a lot of it is bullshit. Just because you have a platform doesn’t mean you have anything important to say. So, I just stepped away until I had something worth posting about again, and hopefully other people will realize it’s okay to do the same.
