Are you woke to Microagressions?

---

The term "woke" comes from African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and means being aware of social and political issues, especially racial and social justice-related issues. To be "woke" implies that you are informed and actively working to address society's injustices. 

Today, the term is used more widely to refer to an awareness of different social issues, including gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and environmental concerns. People who are "woke" are considered socially aware and committed to advocating for positive change. 

The idea originated from African-American civil rights activism and has been used for decades. The term gained more popularity in the 2010s as discussions about social justice became more common in mainstream media and culture.
