When we are forced to leave a life behind, what price do we truly pay. This question is the one at the heart of Warsan Shire's poem Midnight In the Foreign Food Aisle.Join me as I delve into this incredible portrayal of her uncle. Warsan Shire can only be described as a poetry superstar, who has captured the attention of audiences worldwide. From becoming London's first young poet laureate to collaborating with none other than Beyoncé on her album LemonadeShire has made a remarkable impact in the world of poetry.But those achievements are only a small part of what makes her writing so powerful. Warsan writes with a raw emotion that connects directly with her readers, and her unflinching approach to writing about her own feelings, family relationships, and the world at large has earned her immense popularity.In this episode, we'll explore the way in which Shire's culture and upbringing in North West London have shaped her unique writing style and crystal clear observations of others.

"With her first full-length poetry collection, Warsan Shire introduces us to a young girl, who, in the absence of a nurturing guide, makes her own way toward womanhood. Drawing from her own life, as well as pop culture and news headlines, Shire finds vivid, unique details in the experiences of refugees and immigrants, mothers and daughters, Black women and teenage girls. In Shire's hands, lives spring into fullness." The Cheeky Natives sat down with Warsan Shire following the release of her much anticipated poetry collection. In a far ranging conversation spanning the both themes of the book and the context in which they exist, this complex and layered life was laid out. These poems are a record of black womanhood, a journey often characterised by a prevailing state of precarity and difficulty. Despite this, Warsan also captures the joy and magic in the essence of our journey into becoming. Warsan's writing is masterful, each poem so vividly and tenderly written that it unfurls as you read it. For fans of Warsan, (s/o to Tumblr), this collections feels like a meeting of old friends, an encounter where one sees just how much they have changed and grown. In many ways, this book is effulgent. A writing against the abyss of trauma, harm and erasure.
TW // eating disordersI'm biased but oh my goodness, I love this guest and this episode SO much. Ahead of Refugee Week, which runs 20-26th June, it is my honour to welcome the poet Warsan Shire to the podcast. Warsan was born in Kenya to Somali parents. She migrated with her family to the UK at the age of one and her powerful poem Home - which opens with the line ‘no one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark - has become the unofficial anthem to raise awareness of the refugee crisis. She's also a frequent collaborator with Beyonce - her poems are featured in the singer's seminal visual album, Lemonade. Now, at the age of 33, Warsan's first full length collection, Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head, has just been published to critical acclaim.Warsan joins me to talk about her failures in everything from breastfeeding to maths. We also talk about her eating disorder and her 'failure to control it'. We discuss what 'home' really means and what it is to be a refugee. And yes, we OBVIOUSLY talk about Beyonce.Warsan is a beautiful, powerful communicator and this interview made me think and understand better. I hope you like it as much as I do.--Warsan's poetry collection, Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head, is available to order here: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/111/1119216/bless-the-daughter-raised-by-a-voice-in-her-head/9781784743703.html--How To Fail With Elizabeth Day is hosted by Elizabeth Day, produced by Naomi Mantin and Chris Sharp.

Warsan feels like an outsider growing up in London. She wants to find stories that she can see herself in, but when she can't find any she decides to write them herself and turns emotions into insightful poems. ✍️
In our very first episode we had a very interesting comedian by the name of Warsan. We brought very interesting topics about London, Ontario Comedy Scene, PC culture and how it affects comedy and Leonardo DiCaprio role from a very significant movie.
Warsan is a first generation Somali-American. We share a very similar upbringing and unpack the intersections of our culture. Her family's immigration journey later shaped her passion for international development. Warsan worked for the International Rescue Committe (IRC) and the United Nations. Living and working in New York City for the last few years has sparked her interest in tech and print marketing. In addition, she is currently working on developing a few upcoming creative and entrepreneurial projects...be on the lookout! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/delmard/support

Senzela Atmar was born in war-torn Kabul, Afghanistan. It's a miracle she and her family are still alive today. After surviving bombings, the death of a family member, and several years in a refugee camp, she and her family won a lottery and were brought to the United States. They began their lives in Nashville, TN. Senzela's story is going to blow your minds. Senzela started Relief Without Borders—an organization committed to providing relief to those suffering injustice and poverty in developing countries. She is also involved with Share the Journey. Follow Relief Without Borders and Senzela on Instagram. In the intro of the podcast, I read an incredibly impactful poem that speaks candidly to the experience of so many refugees and immigrants. You can read it below. NOTE: In this poem, Warsan—a Somali poet and educator— uses the n-word. I copy/pasted the poem in its entirety for you below but left the n-word out when I recited the poem in the intro. As a non-black person, I don't feel comfortable saying it—even if I'm simply reading what she wrote. HOME by Warsan Shire no one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark you only run for the border when you see the whole city running as well your neighbors running faster than you breath bloody in their throats the boy you went to school with who kissed you dizzy behind the old tin factory is holding a gun bigger than his body you only leave home when home won't let you stay. no one leaves home unless home chases you fire under feet hot blood in your belly it's not something you ever thought of doing until the blade burnt threats into your neck and even then you carried the anthem under your breath only tearing up your passport in an airport toilet sobbing as each mouthful of paper made it clear that you wouldn't be going back. you have to understand, that no one puts their children in a boat unless the water is safer than the land no one burns their palms under trains beneath carriages no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled means something more than journey. no one crawls under fences no one wants to be beaten pitied no one chooses refugee camps or strip searches where your body is left aching or prison, because prison is safer than a city of fire and one prison guard in the night is better than a truckload of men who look like your father no one could take it no one could stomach it no one skin would be tough enough the go home blacks refugees dirty immigrants asylum seekers sucking our country dry niggers with their hands out they smell strange savage messed up their country and now they want to mess ours up how do the words the dirty Learn more about your ad choices.

Fem ungdommer i en båt på vei over Middelhavet. Fra Somalia vil de prøve å komme seg til Europa, over havet der så mange før dem ikke har greid seg. Bare de selv vet hvilke historier de bærer på, hva kroppene deres har vært med på, hva øynene deres har sett. Lars Petter Sveen vant Tarjei Vesaas’ debutantpris 2008 for romanen Køyre frå Fræna og fikk sitt store gjennombrudd med romanen Guds barn. Under arbeidet med sin siste roman Fem stjerner har Sveen gjort grundig research: satt seg inn i livet i flyktningeleirer, lest en rekke vitneutsagn fra mennesker som har vært på flukt, og dykket ned i den somaliske muntlige fortellertradisjonen. Hvordan blir boka hans lest av en nordmann som selv har somalisk bakgrunn? Kommentator og medisinstudent Warsan Ismail møter Sveen til samtale. Samtalen fant sted på Litteraturhuset 22.11.2017.
