From Mia: Why Africa Brooke Left The Cult Of Wokeness

Writer and activist, Africa Brooke, used to call people out on the internet all the time because this is what the culture wars told her she needed to do.

Until one day - she suddenly stopped.

In 2021, Africa wrote an open letter and posted it online. She called it: “Why I’m Leaving the Cult of Wokeness” and it immediately went viral. The letter changed her life, but not in the way she expected it to.

So what did she write in that letter? And how did she become unafraid? Was she cancelled?

In this bold and timely interview - Africa Brooke and Mia Freedman discuss the pressures, expectations and risks of living in the Age of Intolerance.
