In this episode, Rebone Masemola (Founder of the Woke Project) talks to host Carmen Murray, CEO of Boo Yah Modern Marketing Services about wokeness and the forms and shapes its taking in society and why we as individuals and businesses should pay attention to this global movement that is shaping the behaviour of people in this modern age.

They explore the topic of anthropology and Rebone shares various insights about the woke era and the fact that being uncomfortable is a good thing. Being woke also sets the tone of creativity and how we tell stories.

They touch on the topic of the Oppression Olympics. Being woke comes with its challenges because it lacks action which is a conversation Carmen and Rebone explores further in their conversation.

More background about Rebone Masemola:

WokeProject was founded by Rebone Masemola, a TEDx Speaker, Feminist Blogger and Thought Leader with an MA in Anthropology from Johannesburg. She was featured as a ‘Young Leader To Watch’ by Fast Company in 2019, nominated as a Top 100 Disruptor for 2018 and Top 8 Wonder under 30 To Watch.

She created the platform because there is a gap when it comes to diverse representations of the stories of minority groups. She felt that the mainstream media doesn’t truly report on narratives and the lived realities of Women of color, Youth and LGBTQI communities in a way that reflects and resonates with their daily lives.
