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.

Everything Is Political.

August 13, 2025 • Revolutionary Baddies • Season 1 • Episode 12

Happy Black August!! In the second episode of the very special Black August series, Revolutionary Baddies contend and bring to life a dialogue about political consciousness. A big, complex topic that spans across generations and often determines our future. In society, we often hear someone say, “I don't do politics.” or "I'm not the political type.”. In reality, what folks really mean is they are mentally and tangibly removed from politicians and what they do/don't do. However, this is only one way of navigating or engaging in politics. RB continues their Black August discussion focusing on notable writers, organizers, artists, and freedom fighters ideologies and how they practiced those ideologies. In the United States, McCarthyism and the “Red Scare” have systemically removed and villainized more progressive economic and social systems such as Socialism and Communism. Despite their best efforts, there are more young people supportive and in alignment with socialist values than in recent decades. In this episode, Brittany and Dee Dee manage to disrupt the stigma and propaganda surrounding these political frameworks and its very Black lineage. Check out our comprehensive resources and books to further our collective understanding.

Questions for our listeners:

What do you think is your current ideology?

How are you maturing your consciousness?
