On this episode of Anchored, Jeremy is joined by Morénike Giwa Onaiwu, a parent at the Saint Constantine School in Houston. Morénike explains the definition of the word "woke" in the black community, and how it has been misconstrued in mainstream politics as a consequence of creating labels to define political opinions. She discusses the polarization of political thought and states that most people are more nuanced than they are given credit for. Morénike also shares her thoughts on demonizing one group of people, and the inability of many individuals to view life from a non-political lens.
