Woke and Wealth
Hello Interactors,Language shapes power, but it can also obscure and manipulate. Words like woke and decolonize, rooted in justice, are now tools for distortion by figures like Trump and Modi. In this essay, we’ll explore how these terms connect to economic and political geography, tracing their co-opting, parallels to colonialism, and the need to reclaim their transformative potential. Let’s dig in — and stay woke.STAY WOKE, START TALKINGAre you woke? It’s a provocative question these days. Especially since this term was co-opted by the right as a pejorative since th...

Jambo! Dr. Akumbu. Bringing you culturally relevant multifaceted conversations and reflections intersecting education, entertainment, and business, committed to DEIB and cultural capacity building. Today’s reflection is titled: Apostle Paul Was Woke. The Bible is a book with deep cultural underpinnings. It follows particular beliefs, values, norms, history, heritage, language, and traditions. To understand the culture of Christians today and of old, one must be willing to learn. Christians argue that non-Christians or people like Paul in the Bible could not understand some of the concepts in the Bible unless God opened their eyes, particularly th...

Conversations With Ollie Mac
The Miseducation of Woke, Part 1: What is Woke?
We've all heard the saying that words have meaning. But do we truly understand it. Ollie Mac doesn't think so. On this episode of Conversations with Ollie Mac, Ollie Mac does a deep dive into the word "woke". This word has taken on a different meaning in this hypersensitive environment to where laws have been established to stop the so called "woke agenda". Ollie Mac also explores the history of "Lift Every Voice and Sing", the Black National Anthem and why the song is important for all people. Ollie Mac used the following references for this episode:

Audio Long Reads, from the New Statesman
A brief history of “woke”: how one word fuelled the culture wars
Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 October, the Home Secretary Suella Braverman denounced the opposition to her proposed Public Order Bill as “the Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokerati”. The next day, she posted her resignation letter on Twitter. It had been a busy 24 hours in the war on woke. On TalkTV, Piers Morgan had bemoaned the rise of the “ultra-woke”. In New York, Elon Musk was finalising the paperwork for his takeover of Twitter, after his ex-wife Talulah Riley urged him to “fight wokeism” on the platform. Donald Trump Jr launched another platform for “non-woke” businesses – and in the Commons, Keir...

William Melvin Kelley: Ein Tropfen Geduld
Ein Buch wie ein guter Blues Der Roman lebt vom Kontrast: der große Sound der Bühne, die Ereignisse in der Außenwelt - sie werden immer wieder abgelöst von den leisen Töne aus der Innenwelt des Protagonisten. Erstaunlich konsequent lenkt der Autor durch das Geschehen mit der Wahrnehmungsweise seines blinden Protagonisten. Stimmen, Dialoge und Klänge leiten ihn, die visuelle Welt bleibt außen vor, es sei denn Ludlow lässt sie sich beschreiben. Der Augenöffner-Effekt am Ende ist umso größer, auch für uns Leser. William Melvin Kelley wurde 1937 in New York geboren. Mit...

Identical twin sisters Stella and Desiree Vignes grow up together in a small, southern black community where the inhabitants have noteably light skin. When they run away at the age sixteen they make very different choices. One will marry and then return to her hometown, the other will live her life passing for white, knowing she can never go back. What will happen, though, when the next generation of their families connects? Race, identity, family, love, belonging, all thoughtfully woven through a compulsive page-turner that had both Laura and Kate’s book clubs talking... We may just have found the per...
