Revolutionary Baddies Podcast
Revolutionary Baddies Podcast seeks to join the legacy of uplifting the individual and the masses through connecting revolutionary ideas and practices to our everyday lives. As self declared baddies, we seek to honor the feminist tradition of women who boldly lead, teach, and build on our own terms. Revolutionary Baddies Podcast seeks to deconstruct the large idea of revolution to make it palatable and approachable for our people from all walks of life. You don’t need a degree nor an entire book collection to understand what freedom means and what lack thereof feels like. RB Podcast will deliver knowledge through literary based discussions, street stories of our lived experiences, keke’n, and narratives specifically crafted to influence our audience to engage in the struggle for liberation, while celebrating our individuality in the movement.

Black Feminism. Ladies, Are We Locked In?
Where would we be without radical Black feminism? One obvious answer is, Revolutionary Baddies would not exist. They stand on the shoulders and move with the urgency and examples of ICONIC Black feminists that shaped history in spite of this country. In this episode, Brittany and Dee Dee give light to the necessary struggle waged against patriarchy and misogyny, as we fight white supremacy and imperialism. Our future depends on our ability to come together for these changes and make space for new ways of being. However, Black Feminism has been co-opted by mainstream US media and neoliberalism focusing on “girl bosses” and “Black excellence”. This must be examined, challenged, and developed by us for the sake of future generations. This isn't just about challenging men, although we need to. This isn't just about being well represented in industries and film, although we need that too. We dont need an all women space tour performing progress. We need the power to transform society.
Question for our listeners:
Who are some Black feminist icons that inspire you? Why?
Do you identify as a Black feminist?
