We Woke is based on true events and is about how race and cancel culture divide two friends in a battle over the company name.

The Two friends are Nikki and Miranda and the company is the Mickey’s Monkey Theater Company located in beautiful Chicago. And as the company grows and grows, some Black members have an issue with the word monkey, and it’s use as a racial slur for hundreds and hundreds of years. So Miranda makes a push to change the company name, and everybody seems to be on board except for Nikki. From Nikki’s point of view the slur and the company are not one in the same thing. The slur and the reality of monkeys, apes, gorillas and their connection to human beings are not one in the same thing, so why change our name because of this stupid slur. After voicing her opinion, many people in the company agree with Nikki, but do so secretly, out of fear of being called racist, fear of offending people, fear of being canceled. Nevertheless, they thank Nikki for voicing what a lot of people were feeling but afraid to say.

But Miranda can’t believe her good friend, so she invites her out for coffee to talk about it. And in a manner of minutes, the conversation gets ugly, gets heated, gets personal and ruins their friendship. This is ”We Woke”.
