The word 'woke' is the past participle of ‘wake’ but the rapid adoption of the term, credited to African-American parlance in recent years, has brought to prominence the importance of awareness of all forms of discrimination and social injustice. It represents the questioning of what is deemed acceptable, or the norm, and striving for a transformation in mindset for a better global society
