  • Summary

  • In this thought-provoking episode of A Prude Awakening, Jessica and Karmen sit down with guest Jabari Davis to tackle the loaded concept of “wokeness” in 2024. What began as a call to stay aware of social injustice has become a hotly debated—and frequently misunderstood—term. Together, they dissect:

    Understanding What It Really Means to Be 'Woke':
Jabari helps us trace the history of "woke" from its roots to its present-day politicization. Why do some see it as a badge of awareness, while others view it as a political weapon? We look at how the term’s evolution impacts social justice.

    The Impact on Black Communities:
Is cultural appropriation becoming a performative checkbox, and what does this mean for Black communities? We dive into why aspects of Black culture feel commodified or diluted—and why this matters.

    The Politics of Identity in 2024: Woke Culture as a Campaign Strategy
With the election looming, candidates are eager to discuss “wokeness.” But is it genuine advocacy or empty rhetoric? Jabari shares insights on recognizing when political leaders advocate for change versus co-opting trends for votes.

    Listen in as we unpack the difference between woke-washing and real advocacy, and what it all means for voters in 2024.
