Send us a textUnless you’ve been living under a rock, woke, wokeism or ‘the woke mind virus’ are now part of our public vernacular. But where did it come from? How did this awful word or phrase become so normalized in our societies? Equally, is woke a bad thing? And surely it’s not a mind virus? To hear the word woke, all you have to do is watch any political campaign (anywhere in the world) and you’ll hear woke used as a blanket term to criticize anything progressive. That includes racism, women’s rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, DEI, migration, all the way through to cancelling books in libraries or schools. So why is it everywhere? Is it a good thing for society or is it dividing us even more? And who benefits from its popularity? We’re going to dig into it and see if we can come to a consensus. To help us discuss this very current topic, we are delighted to welcome back the very woke Graham Harvey CSP, an award-winning speaker, business coach, service designer, and author. Graham coaches service leaders and their teams to design cultures of next-level service excellence and to deliver standout customer experiences that delight every customer... every time! We invited Graham because he’s all in on woke, but who on our team is not? Join us and you’ll find out. The Know Show is a Livestream held every fortnight on Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Tim Wade and Joe Augustin, and at least one special guest, review the news that’s getting everyone’s attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention. We’ll talk about what it means to us, the world and we hope to inspire great conversations on the news that matters in the world today. The Know Show is based on Andrea T Edwards Weekend Reads, which are published every Saturday on andreatedwards.com, and covers the planetary crisis, topical moments in the world, global politics and war, business and technology, social issues, and passion/humour/history.
