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.

Woke Chicago turns 6 this year. 💛

Feeling incredibly grateful for every student, teacher, volunteer, donor, partner, and community member who has been part of the journey.

The most meaningful impact is often the hardest to measure.

Thank you for being here.

And if you spot yourself in this video, thank you for helping shape Woke into what it is today. Sarah Anna Ford

Not everything that changes a life happens loudly.

Sometimes it’s a breath.

Sometimes it’s a pause.

Sometimes it’s the realization that you’re safe enough to soften.

For six years, Woke Chicago has been creating healing-centered spaces for youth and communities across Chicago.

And we’re just getting started.
