When did woke become such a controversial word? This episode unravels its powerful journey—from a symbol of awareness and social justice to a term used to spark division. Once rooted in the fight for fairness and equality, woke now carries layers of meaning that fuel debates across culture, politics, and workplaces. We explore how this transformation happened and what it says about today's society.

Focusing on real stories and history, we connect the past to the present, asking tough questions about freedom of speech, accountability, and the true purpose of awareness. Are we using words like woke to create understanding, or are they tearing us apart? This episode dives into the heart of listening, learning, and engaging in meaningful conversations. If you’re ready to see the bigger picture and rethink the power of language, this is the podcast for you.

Remember, your Perch isn’t just a place to sit; it’s a place to seek a higher perspective.
