About this listen

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.

    CHAPTER ONE: A Blue Dawn
    May 4 2026

    It's 2016, and Jebra Faushay is certain Hillary Clinton will win. She has the fireworks, the vegan charcuterie, and the champagne ready to uncork.

    In the first chapter of UNWOKE, Jebra takes us through the election night that broke her, the COVID years that consumed her, and the glorious arrival of Joe Biden, coming to save the country.

    Featuring: a four-hour champagne hunger strike, a hazmat suit at Whole Foods, six keyed cars, and the ancestry results that made her 0.1% African and 100% certain she was now BIPOC.

    Before we begin, a word from Jebra.

    Consider this the author's note. Just something quick you need to know before diving into her story.

    Essentially, a trigger warning.
