Diversity Central: The Podcast Where Being Woke Thrives

Written by: Dr. William M. White
  • Summary

  • Diversity and Woke are two interconnected concepts that have gained significant attention and discussion in recent years, particularly in the realms of social justice, politics, and popular culture. Diversity refers to the presence and representation of different social and cultural groups within a given context, such as a workplace, educational institution, or in society as a whole.

     On the other hand, Woke is a term that has emerged as a colloquial expression associated with social awareness and activism, particularly regarding issues of inequality, discrimination, and systemic oppression. Being Woke implies being consciously alert and attuned to social injustices, often with a focus on marginalized communities. It encourages critical thinking, challenges societal norms, and advocates for social change to address disparities. 

    Together, diversity and being Woke reflect a broader movement toward inclusivity and social justice. The emphasis is on recognizing and valuing the experiences and perspectives of historically marginalized groups, promoting equality, and dismantling discriminatory structures. The aim is to create a society that embraces and respects the inherent dignity and worth of all individuals regardless of their background, and strives for equal opportunities and equitable outcomes for everyone. 

    Diversity Central: The Podcast Where Being Woke Thrives is about all things diversity. You will hear from experts and champions of diversity who will present best practices that are working.  You will be presented with effective theoretical models and practice that lead to the sustainability of your diversity efforts.

    Jun 13 2023

    In an era of unprecedented demographic shifts in the United States, being woke is not just a passing trend or a superficial buzzword. It is a necessary mindset and set of actions that can help us navigate the challenges of an increasingly diverse society. Being woke empowers us to confront and dismantle systemic inequalities, challenge stereotypes, and promote empathy, understanding, and equality. 

    By embracing the woke movement, we can collectively build a society that celebrates diversity, fosters inclusion, and take meaningful action to effect positive change.
