POWERTALK KELECHI OKAFOR
'OWNING ANGER'

Kelechi Okafor is an award winning Black British Nigerian cultural commentator and has built a career as a formidable personal trainer, dance innovator, pole dance teacher and owns a dance studio. Kelechi has multifaceted knowledge and experience in the areas of equality, anti-racism, and diversity, Black womanhood and other contemporary topics and is well known for her incisive and quick witted observations about society and culture.

Kelechi unapologetically says her mind and directs anger if needed. She refuses to be anger shamed and in fact suggests that black women and non binary people harness, own and celebrate their anger.

During the Powertalk we’ll dive deeper into the power of anger in relation to Black women and using the trope to our advantage rather than being tone policed. What are the benefits and power of harnessing our anger? 

How can we use it as a source of power? Rather than a stereotype that is used against us?
