Phoebe Robinson used lockdown to gear up for an all-out creative blitz. battymamzelle reports
Photo: Yavez Antonio Phoebe Robinson is glowing when we sit down to chat over video. Her signature halo of curls frames her face as she settles into the living room of her immaculately decorated Brooklyn apartment she shares with her boyfriend of four years. Behind her, I can see touches of her taste: a bookshelf filled with titles arranged by color and a smart lamp with an orblike bulb set next to a comfortable-looking reading chair.
“Professionally speaking, it was a level of uncertainty I hadn’t felt since 2016, when I was still freelancing and writing $50 articles for xoJane,” she says, laughing. “It was something I used to joke about with Jessica,” she says, “where we were always like, ‘Oh, we’re too ignorant to get reparations,’ you know. We’re not worthy of it like other people might be, but we can get sort of those tiny reparations along the way — like, a table frees up at a restaurant or we get cash back on something. This is our tiny reparations.”
With her lifelong love of books and writing, the move into the role of publisher is a natural transition for her: “This is something I’d love to keep doing in my 60s and 70s. Trust me, I’m not gonna want to keep touring and doing stand-up. It’s so physically demanding. If I can be in one place and read some manuscripts and eat my Activia yogurt, I will be thriving.” A broad, jovial smile lights up her face when I quip that books are her retirement plan.
