Let’s be real most people don’t avoid politics because they don’t care.
They avoid it because nobody ever explained it in a way that made sense.

Growing up, a lot of us were taught fear instead of facts. We learned to stay quiet, mind our business, and assume the system wasn’t built for us anyway.

That didn’t make us ignorant  it made us survivors.

WOKE was created for people who want clarity without pressure. This is a space to learn how decisions are made, who makes them, and how those decisions affect your everyday life explained in a way that feels human, not academic.
