This series is centered around our journey towards being “Woke” while simultaneously remaining true to being young millennials that find joy in worldly pleasures. We decided to do this podcast because we found that in speaking to our peers we are not the only ones that are living in this new middle ground. Many millennials are searching for ways to level up their consciousness but don't know where to start or have started their journey but are looking for other like minded individuals to discuss challenges with. We are putting together this podcast to do all we can to share our experiences, in hopes that it will help the next person reach that new level of wokeness while remaining true to who they are. We want to provide a bridge of information for our listeners on woke topics that will help them become more “woke” and “bad”.
