(Part 2)

Following our exploration of the origins of the word "woke", Narelle and Tess dissect Peter Dutton's recent comments about "the woke agenda" in schools and education and the continued confusion so many of us have about what this word even means anymore.

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.
