What if your anger isn’t something to fear – but a tool for clarity, courage and change? In a town like Folkestone – creative, complex, and full of people pushing for better – anger can be a vital emotional signal. But too often we’re told to stay quiet, stay nice, stay calm.
In this powerful, eye-opening event, journalist and author Sam Parker (Good Anger: How Rethinking Rage Can Change Our Lives) and writer and speaker Uju Asika (Bringing Up Race, Raising Boys Who Do Better) invite us to rethink everything we’ve been taught about rage and masculinity. Together, they explore how anger shows up in our bodies, our families, our relationships and our communities – and how, if we learn to listen, it can become a force for growth and change.
From burnout to everyday aggravations, family frustrations to political fury, this conversation speaks directly to anyone who has ever felt silenced, stuck or exhausted by the pressure to keep it all in. It’s about owning your voice, finding your edge, and learning how to use anger not to explode – but to evolve.
Please note: this event lasts one hour, followed by an opportunity to purchase the authors’ books upstairs in The Clearing and have them signed.
