Some of the work of Warsan Shire was used in Beyonce's latest album 'Lemonade'. Her work is powerful, moving, and definitely inspiring. The poems that Beyonce quoted directly were "Nail Technician as Palm Reader" and "Grief Has Its Blue Hands in Her Hair".
Shire's work speaks directly to the black woman experience.
