“We’re all just trying to do our best so I feel like in the second season, people are going to see Ayana’s journey as a more vulnerable one because she’s learning that she doesn’t have all the answers and maybe she does need a little bit of help.”

Fo Morris, who portrays the main character Keef as he continues his journey to being woke, the second season aims to encourage people that it’s okay to live your life the way that you want to live your life.

“You don’t have to pick sides, you can just love, be kind to folks, [and] fix what you can change,” he said. “You can do that thing, it doesn’t have to be grand, it doesn’t have to be big, and it doesn’t have to be performative, you know what I mean? You can just be. If you want to be an ally, cool. Sometimes it’s okay to just do nothing. Sometimes it’s okay to just say ‘man I get it.’ You don’t have to have a quote wall, you don’t have to read off these books and do all this stuff all the time.”
