Morphology
commitment + to + wokeness
The noun phrase uses a transparent composition pattern: 'commitment to' clearly signals dedication to whatever the following noun denotes. However, understanding depends on knowing the socio‑political sense of 'woke' and its nominalized form 'wokeness' (state/quality of being 'woke'), which is recent, slangy, and semantically marked; therefore the relation is partly predictable but not fully transparent to an average B1 learner who may only know literal senses.
Etymology
Commitment to wokeness combines commitment (a promise to keep doing something) and wokeness (from 'woke', meaning 'awake' to social wrongs). Picture someone who stays 'awake' to spot unfairness and keeps working to change it, so the phrase means a strong dedication to noticing and acting on social injustice.
