Woke Chicago

We strive to create change from the inside out by working hard to re-invent a wellness culture of impact that is rooted in unity, equity, and love.

Our work disrupts inequity in well-being by creating access to trauma-informed movement and mindfulness programs within under-resourced Chicago communities & schools. a minority female-led non-profit organization (501c3) formed in response to 2020's cries for racial justice in America & COVID-19's impact on communities of color.
