The Merriam Webster Online Dictionary defines the word “Woke” as: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice).

Last week’s Gen Z protests brought woke-ism to Kenya in the most incredibly fascinating way. In case you are the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn’t know about the peaceful protests last week, I cannot help you. Let your fingers do the walking for you and find your way to the social media virtual realm because that is where all the action is happening. The issue that should have any organisational leaders worried today is that while we were watching the peaceful protests on the streets of various towns in the country, the real violence was happening off the streets and in a virtual realm.
