The pressure to be woke

Update: 2021-03-11

Description

It's good to be aware of social issues, or as they say it "to be woke". But there is a darker side too. Teenagers feel immense pressure to keep up, say the right things and know everything that's happening in the world. Openhouse talks to Urvi Priyadarshi, an 11th grader from Bangalore and Gurmehar Kaur, author of Small Acts of Freedom about how they deal with this pressure and what it means to be woke.
