In this episode, she shares the story of how Yellow Rage began, the tensions around how they used our voices, and what she’s still learning now about the difference between expressing anger and creating space for connection. For 25 years, Yellow Rage has been rooted in anger. Real anger. Necessary anger. The kind that comes from love.
“I don’t regret the anger. But today, I’m asking: How do we speak our truth without closing the door to being heard?”
