Stay Woke
Tuesday, 7 April, 2026

In this Therapy’s Life episode, the hosts unpack “stay woke” as an age-old survival practice for Black people, using Lead Belly’s Scottsboro Boys song and the wrongful rape accusations, imprisonment, and posthumous pardons as a starting point. They connect Black wokeness to historical communication and resistance—from the Middle Passage, drums, Negro spirituals, and Harriet Tubman’s coded songs to writers and leaders like David Walker, Frederick Douglass, Carter G. Woodson, and Dr. Frances Cress Welsing—arguing that awareness is tied to freedom, education, and mental health. 00:00 Stay Woke Intro 02:53 Scottsboro Boys Story 05:12 Survival Through Song 10:36 Woke Music Lineage 11:21 Early Black Thinkers 14:47 Education And Awareness 16:35 Defining Racism 22:55 Power And Policy Examples 27:41 Stereotypes And Dehumanization 32:49 Civil Rights And The Church 36:40 Warrior Spirit Woke 37:43 Hidden Black Genius 40:24 Timbuktu NASA Credit 41:12 Slavery Sites Lessons 44:59 Woke Survival Skills 48:48 Self Love Origins 52:02 When Woke Hurts 59:25 Hip Hop Truth Seekers 01:02:36 Protect Black History 01:06:26 Social Media Algorithms 01:07:39 Read Stay Woke Learn more about your ad choices.
