Episode Synopsis

Being "woke" in America refers to being aware and informed about social injustices and systemic issues that affect marginalized communities, including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and more. The term has gained widespread popularity in recent years, particularly among younger generations who have taken an active role in advocating for social justice. However, the concept of being woke has also been met with criticism and backlash, with some accusing it of being performative or divisive. Despite this, many individuals and organizations continue to prioritize being aware and informed about social issues as a means of promoting equality and justice for all.
