Noname

Fatimah Nyeema Warner(born 18 September 1991) known professionally as Noname, is an American rapper. Quotes I was like, 'Okay,' let me just shut up and do some reading. So I started the book club selfishly hoping to be in a community with people who can break some of it [politics] down for me. Well, I am kind of obsessed with Africa, I just wanted the book club to exist in all the places Black people are. I also wanted a reason to travel and globalize my understanding of Blackness and the diaspora. Admittedly, Black Americans have regressive ideas about Africa, as we haven't been taught or exposed to African cultures. That's why I want to remove some of the ignorance people have of different places in Africa through this book club. I'm so blessed with the turnout. I'm even more blessed that people were so kind. How Noname's Book Club is Bridging the Black Diaspora, April 14 2025 I want to do block parties in different cities as a way to just have free shows where I can bridge the two worlds that I’m really into—the community organizing and the music—especially since I’ve struggled to do only one or the other. I mean, a free show is not going to dismantle the state. It’s not a revolution. I am aware of its limitations. I’m definitely more of a musician than anything else.… But it’s my attempt to have, I guess they call it, like, praxis? I love the concept of a book club that’s sort of the anti-neoliberal book club. It’s really heartening to see book clubs taking a much more radical turn, as opposed to like, ‘rosé and chill. I was really just having fun with it, I see it as a way to get me back out there in terms of people remembering that I make music. It’s a block party! I dropped an album! I need some love!
