RECLAIMING OUR RAGE
For generations, Black women’s anger has been silenced, dismissed, and misunderstood. We’ve been told to shrink it, soften it, make it more palatable. But rage is not destruction—it is clarity. It is liberation. It is ours.
What happens when we stop apologizing for our anger? When we refuse to carry its weight in silence? When we let it move, shape, and transform us instead of being something we have to tame?
This is not just about rage—it’s about power, agency, and the freedom to feel fully. It’s about unlearning the fear of our own fire. This project is one step toward that freedom.
ANGER vs. RAGE
Anger and rage pulse at different frequencies. Anger flares when a boundary is crossed—a sharp inhale, a clenched jaw, a demand for change. It fuels action, pushes back, and can be channeled into problem-solving.
Rage is anger pushed to its limits. It’s what happens when the same boundary is crossed, over and over again. A shaking hand. A body tensed for battle. A scream swallowed so many times it threatens to consume. Unchecked, it lingers—rewiring the brain, feeding anxiety, depression, exhaustion. It doesn’t just live in the mind; it settles in the body.
This moment in history demands that we harness rage, not fear it. Unfocused, it burns everything down. Directed with precision, it fuels transformation. As Audre Lorde said, when reclaimed, rage is not destruction—it is power. A force capable of dismantling injustice and forging a path toward liberation.
MEET THE CREATOR
MEET THE CREATOR
Hi there! I’m Siraad—an artist, creative producer, and storyteller. My work explores identity, emotion, and liberation, centering Black women’s narratives across film, branded storytelling, and editorial projects.
I know the weight of rage. I’ve carried it. Swallowed it. Felt it settle in my body and silence. And I know I’m not alone. Reclaiming Our Rage was born from the need to turn that weight into something else—a source of clarity, strength, and possibility.
This project is more than a creative work—it’s a refusal to let Black women’s rage be ignored, dismissed, or feared. My goal is simple: to amplify our stories, create space for healing, and build tools that help us own every part of who we are.
The time is now. Let’s Rage.
