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.

This Is The Time For Solidarity
What do you know about hurricanes? When you’re in the eye of the storm, everything around you seems calm. The moment that you step outside of that radius, you are in the chaos, destruction, and flooding hurricanes cause. Due to the ongoing executive orders led by Trump, increased ICE raids, threats to healthcare and education, and media illiteracy we are in a wild whirlwind moment in history. This is the time for solidarity. Unfortunately, there is a divisive and reactionary discourse online claiming Black women need to “sit this one out”. Revolutionary Baddies discusses the notion of Black political participation, dependency on voting, and the ways right wing propaganda gets in our way. As the ICE raids increase with more militarized force, we cannot fall for the trap of denying our participation based on voting statistics. Immigration is a Black Issue. Always has been! So why do we continue to fall for the propaganda of inaction and divisiveness? Brittany and Dee Dee spend time unpacking this question and the idea of necessary mass direct action. In order to transform society, we must become skillful in identifying right wing propaganda and challenging our thinking on who deserves to be fought for. Big love to everyone taking the streets and taking risks right now.
Questions for our Listeners:
If you have decided to “sit this one out”, what exactly are you sitting out?
What would encourage you to go to a protest?
