Formerly known as True and Woke, our journey began in June 2020 as a Facebook group dedicated to providing therapeutic support for women and non-binary individuals who have experienced racism, while also offering a safe space for discussions on anti-racism with allies.
From this grassroots beginning, we expanded our platform to include a blog, a digital magazine, music playlists and a series of short podcast episodes exploring topics related to equality and inclusion. You can access all of this content via the archive.
Soul Vibrating Music
The evergreen True and Woke playlists. Created under our former name and identity by Shondra Riley.
Join the Conversation
Our podcast was created under our former name and identity, True & Woke. Former development director of True & Woke Shondra Riley and current director of ZYA Community Nikki Kilburn hosted seven short conversations with guests representing marginalised communities, sharing their passion, experience and expertise. Connect with their purpose and understand what equality means to them and why it helps everyone.
