WOKE part 1: The origin of woke

(Part I)

You may have heard the word "woke" being thrown around quite heavily in the last couple of years, but do you know where it originated or what it actually means?

Ironically, those who wield it as a weapon struggle the most to define its true meaning.

Check out this short yarn about the origins of the word...and how it has evolved!

Ember Connect Live is a free membership community for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander women. It’s a living and breathing meeting place where we can gather, share stories and experiences, learn, and grow.

Ember Connect Live also provides another space where non-Indigenous women (our Allies), can learn, grow and be part of meaningful conversations.

Our platform is unique because we provide separate spaces for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander women and non-Indigenous women to connect and communicate but importantly, we provide a THIRD space where we can all learn and grow together.

Join Ember Connect now, or follow us on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
