Deprogrammed with Keri Smith

I spent over 20 years in the Social Justice ("Woke") cult, picking it up at Duke University in the late 1990s and then pushing the ideology through my work in the entertainment industry in comedy and TV. After a slow years-long process of waking up and leaving the cult, I started Deprogrammed as a series of interviews intended to better understand and make sense of my old belief system, Woke ideology, and it's rise to cultural dominance.

I help people leave the Woke cult by illuminating the ways it which it is NOT liberalism and by sharing the stories of those of us who've left it. I help parents, spouses, employees and other regular folks understand what Woke ideology is and how it operates in schools, churches, the workplace and society.

Deprogrammed is committed to fostering conversation, supporting individual liberties (free speech, private property rights, the 2nd amendment), helping people find meaning and purpose, and making space for both reason and faith.
