2024/12/30 Report

Here’s a guide to thoughtfully respond when someone accuses you of being “woke,” depending on the context and your desired tone:

1. Clarify What They Mean

2. Acknowledge the Conversation Without Defensiveness

If the accusation feels like a jab, try to de-escalate by showing you’re open to discussing differences without being combative.
