Features

WokeProject serves as a space for alternative narratives, it promotes visibility and the celebration of marginalized groups. We do regular panels and interviews for PowerFM to shine a light on issues around gender & sexuality, and make commentary and pop-cultural critiques. We have been featured in BubblegumClub Magazine, BBC Minute, KayaFM, SowetoTV, Financial Mail, 702, SAFM andCapeTalk. Our content has also been published on News24 and Huffpost South Africa.

To supplement and bring to life the conversation we have online, we host Bimonthly events called #WokeSaturdays where we invite a host of people to come engage, teach and share stories around their lived experiences.
