FINDING MY VOICE ONLINE

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve started to find my voice. I’ve even become kind of well-known for taking on some bullies online. One of the most notable is the pop star Azealia Banks. Even back when I was ten years old, I would listen to her songs “1991” and “The Big Beat” all the time. Her beats are really good, and I connected with her just as a Black girl.

When I was fourteen, she came after Zayn Malik, who was previously in the group One Direction. I don’t know Zayn personally and I don’t know his exact race—I just know that we’re both people of color. She attacked him with all sorts of racial slurs. I can’t even repeat them, that’s how bad they were.

So I took it upon myself to tweet, “Azealia Banks needs to simmer down a little.” I didn’t think it was that bad. I didn’t even @ her to get her attention.
