While we arent the first "black" magazine and probably wont be the last, we aim to be the most influental and valubale. We created Awoke to inspire you by speaking the truth. Have you ever considered the reason we as a people aren’t as far as we should be is because we have yet to master the art of not listening to what we WANT to hear but listening to what we SHOULD hear. Don’t believe this theory? With election coming up how many people you know are voting for Hilary Clinton because Oprah says so? Or Jay Z and Beyoncé is “with her”? How many people fell into mainstream Medias’ web of lies, the web of “I’ll tell you this but I won’t tell you that.” Because of this we’ve created this magazine. To exercise our freedom of speech, entirely, with no filter and no big corporate company paying us to say what they want us to say. No propaganda, just raw knowledge. We’re here to generate stories that will enlighten teach and awaken. Our first issue is dedicated to Dr. Sebi, the fact that this is an introduction to most of our readers shows our purpose, to enlighten our people on things that the media doesn’t want us to know. We look forward to being your source and information guide and we will continue to learn and grow with you.
Here’s to knowledge and the future.
