Woke

“Woke” is a slang term that means being aware of social and political issues, especially those related to inequality and injustice. 

When someone says they’re “woke,” they’re saying they understand and care about these important matters.

Imagine your friend talks about the importance of treating everyone equally, regardless of their background. You might say, “You’re so woke!” This means you appreciate their awareness and concern for fairness.

“Woke” can also refer to staying informed about current events and societal challenges. If someone reads the news every day and discusses important topics, you could say they’re “woke.”

This term shows that someone is awake not just physically, but also mentally to issues that matter. It’s like saying, “You’re not just living in your own world – you care about what’s happening around you.” So, when you hear or use “woke,” you’re recognizing someone’s awareness and their efforts to make the world a better place.
