‘I Am Deliberate and Afraid of Nothing’ — Audre Lorde Quote Tee | RQuéV Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Classic Tee

“I am deliberate and afraid of nothing.” Audre Lorde set this line in her poem “New Year’s Day,” published in 1973 in From a Land Where Other People Live — a Black lesbian poet claiming, out loud and on the page, a fearlessness she was expected to keep to herself. To announce your intention plainly, with no hedge and no apology, was itself the daring thing: she made the saying an act of self-possession.
