UNWOKE: A Memoir in Episodes
by Jebra Faushay
Jebra Faushay did everything right. She marched. She masked. She decolonized her guest bathroom, staged a four-hour hunger strike (champagne only), and cut off everyone she loved who didn't vote correctly. She was, by any reasonable progressive measure, one of the good ones. Then something went wrong. UNWOKE is the fictional memoir of one suburban Los Angeles mother's eight-year descent into ideological certainty and her embarrassing, reluctant, deeply funny crawl back out. Each episode follows Jebra through the events that defined a decade of American life: CHAZ, an ecosexual wedding, a decolonized Thanksgiving, a crypto scam, a rage choir, and the slow realization that she may have been the problem. New chapters every Monday. A love letter to no one. An apology to several neighbors. A warning to everyone.
