Episode 1 - Woke: What is it and why is it worth discussing?

In an era of unprecedented demographic shifts in the United States, being woke is not just a passing trend or a superficial buzzword. It is a necessary mindset and set of actions that can help us navigate the challenges of an increasingly diverse society. Being woke empowers us to confront and dismantle systemic inequalities, challenge stereotypes, and promote empathy, understanding, and equality. 

By embracing the woke movement, we can collectively build a society that celebrates diversity, fosters inclusion, and take meaningful action to effect positive change.
