The problem with wokeness | All About Women 2019

Identity, which is at the heart of wokeness, is often regarded as the most fundamental thing we have. But clinging too hard to your identity can lead to an emphasis on what makes us different, rather than what we all might have in common. In a conversation at All About Women 2019 with broadcaster Jan Fran, stylist and cultural commentator Ayishat Akanbi considers the radical power of kindness. Together they discuss the limits of identity, the gendered nature of image, and how to transcend the superficial to form meaningful connections.
