Georgia Anne Muldrow On The Personal Origin Of "Stay Woke"

This segment from the Questlove Show was so powerful, we had to share it on its own. Georgia Anne Muldrow breaks down the deeply personal origins of her "Stay Woke" lyric from Erykah Badu's "Master Teacher Medley" over 18 years ago, and reflects on how its meaning has evolved—and been distorted—over time. Questlove and special guest Open Mike Eagle share their reactions to her story. Please make sure you've heard the nearly two hour conversation between Georgia and Ahmir that published earlier this week.
