What Is Woke?: Freedom vs. Liberation feat: Donovan Thompson

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Donovan and Dr. Donna unpack what it really means to be “woke” and why the word was weaponized against Black communities. From the difference between freedom and liberation to the cultural cost of handing over Black art and identity for survival, they trace the long fight to reclaim consciousness in a world that profits from Blackness while policing it. This episode is a call to remember, to resist, and to redefine what staying woke truly means.
