  1. Knowledge is {Black} Power

    Knowledge is {Black} Power

    "From the first, I made my learning, what little it was, useful every way I could." -Mary Mcleod Bethune This episode establishes the very purpose of the Revolutionary Baddies Podcast. Education and critical thinking are increasing under attack in the United States. This looks like the divestment of public education and the dismantling of the Department of Education. This looks like the anti-literacy laws enforced against Black people in the 1700-1800’s, and the lack of media justice surrounding truthful journalism and false facts. However, throughout history Black people have prioritized, fought, and died for the right of education. The oldest Black institution for higher learning, Cheyney University, founded in 1837 by Black slavery abolitionists understood the power of education. Mary Mcleod Bethune, who started a school for Black girls in 1904 with only five students and grew to a large university and hospital in Daytona, Florida. She worked relentlessly against racism and impossible odds to provide quality education to Black children that would not receive otherwise. Brittany and Dee Dee recount their familiar connections to education and what it's meant to grow in families that prioritize education in traditional and non-traditional ways. Knowledge is power, and power means freedom and autonomy. Knowledge is the basis of everything we are fighting for, and the future requires us to know more about the community and world we’re fighting for. We cannot win without knowledge. Question for our listeners: What would our educational system look like if we learned the whole history? What do we imagine education being revolutionized? Links for the show: Season 2.

  3. The Big Payback!

    12/24/2025

    The Big Payback!

    I need my check!”. What are reparations? How do we achieve this? What transformations will be required for reparations to be actualized? Who will receive it? How much is too much? In this episode, Revolutionary Baddies explores these questions around reparations. African Americans across the US and Caribbean have always demanded and fought for repair, remembrance, and reconciliation of centuries of chattel slavery. First, we must learn the historical context. Callie Guy House, a pioneer of reparations post-Emancipation, built an organization of almost 300,000 formerly enslaved people to lobby for pensions and provide mutual aid to its members. This organization laid the foundation for the current reparations movement in the US. Many other cultures in and outside of the United States have received reparations and reconciliation, why not African Americans? Brittany and Dee Dee advance this conversation with a contemporary view, and a call to action that we all work towards and demand reparations for the sake of our development as human beings. Investing in stock won't do it. The “Power of the Black dollar” and financial literacy won't do it. It’s going to require as many interventions as possible from as many people as possible. Reparations or revolution?  Question for our listeners What will need to come first- Revolution or Reparations? Links for the show: Season 2.

  4. Radical Feminist Revolution and Nothing Less

    12/17/2025

    Radical Feminist Revolution and Nothing Less

    This episode is all about the purpose of launching this podcast- to illuminate the very essence of revolution. Revolutionary Baddies deepens the context and conversation of what it will require of us to build the next American Revolution- which we desperately need. The next American Revolution needs to be the Radical Feminist Revolution, otherwise we will be stuck advancing the same cycles of violence that brought us to this hell scape in the first place. For centuries, patriarchy has dominated our economic, political, criminal justice, healthcare, education, and societal systems we live through and work for each day. RB are proposing something new, but not so new at the same time. We need a revolution created with love, compassion, and humility at the core. We need a revolution of skillful actors committed to eliminating the patriarchal traditions that no longer serve us, and have held us back. The working class and oppressed peoples of the country deserve a better conclusion than better jobs or more welfare. Our future requires shaping. We need a new way of living, managing, and leading our people into real freedom. Revolutionary Baddies explores the words of past revolutionaries and what they believe is necessary to carry out meaningful and responsible tasks.  Question for our listeners: Do you have a “spirit of sacrifice”? Where does this come from? What are you willing to sacrifice for the revolution? Links for the show: Season 2.

  5. Parable of the Baddies

    12/10/2025

    Parable of the Baddies

    Season 2 is HERE!!!! Revolutionary Baddies  are kicking off the six month anniversary of the Podcast by releasing our second season. HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU!!! Since Season 1, Brittany and Dee Dee have been busy growing the RB Universe through the LIVE Show in honor of Black August and “Read and Yap”, which is our community book club.  Other than catching up with the audience, this episode covers the masterful and prophetic work of “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler. This work comes as a sequel to “Parable of the Sower”. In a dystopian yet relatable country, extremist Christian rhetoric sweeps the country through legislation, vagrancy laws, and “re-education” camps for everyday citizens. In so many ways, we are living in a similar reality and it will take an immense amount of change and radical love to move the needle. In a time where Black and Brown neighborhoods are being invaded and violently disturbed by federal agents regularly, we must take a hard look around at our neighborhoods knowing that we will be next. Lauren Olamina of the book is guided and held together by a constant reminder that the truth should be the only thing we worship, and through the truth do we find each other and community.  Revolutionary Baddies would like to extend a special shoutout to our beloved community for supporting us above and beyond for our first LIVE show: WG Pearson Center, Black August in the Park, Damaris of Royal One Media, Moses Ochola, Ja’Nell Henry, Derrick Beasley, James WIlliams, DJ Ayo VIP, Corey Lamar, DJ Gemynii, Wil Bur Fontaine, Shayna Jones-Perry, Mawiyah Patton, Elle Ivy Green, Chanelle Croxton, Uncle Tony, Derrick Davis, Dare, Big Fess, Jay Moore, Nalissa, and Tammy Rodman Question for the audience What do you think should be our “positive obsession” as a society?

    I Respect Your Ambition, But You Gotta Have Vision

    Happy Black August!! The final episode of this very special Black August series, Revolutionary Baddies delves into this question of the future. Generally, each episode is dedicated to honoring powerful history but our visions for the future can be just as powerful. Grounding in the words of brother George Jackson, “If we fail through fear and lack of aggressive imagination, then the slaves of the future will curse us, as we sometimes curse those of yesterday. I don’t want to die and leave a few sad songs and a hump in the ground as my only monument. I want to leave a world that is liberated..”. Who would you be if you were free? How can we envision our societies, hearts, minds, and behaviors beyond capitalism? So much of the violence, policing, punishment, colonization, and wars have been visions by people grounded in destruction and hegemony but what would the other side of this spectrum look like? We have the opportunity to bring the potential of a caring and just society to life, but we got to have VISION!!! Question for our listeners- Who would you be if you were free?

    Everything Is Political.

    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? Links for the Show: Season 1.

    Abolition Now! Let's Get Back to the Drawing Board

    Happy Black August!! Welcome to the beginning of Revolutionary Baddies Podcast Black August Series. This month, Brittany and Dee Dee have crafted a series of episodes dedicated to the Black August Tradition. Black August is an annual commemoration of Black radical resistance throughout our history. From the Nat Turner Rebellion to the attempted escape and assassination of political prisoner John Jackson. Black August is a necessary charge to the radical movement for more discipline, awareness, and education in the fight to free ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS and continue the struggle against colonialism. In this episode, RB makes the special announcement you’ve been waiting for but you gotta tap in. Black August is an opportunity for all of us to speak more clearly and learn more thoroughly what prison and police abolition could look like in this country and what our role is in it. Dee Dee shares some examples of abolition organizing happening and how the work of abolition is truly about building, not just destroying. The hope for the Black August is that the listeners walk away with a sense of pride in the traditions created by Black Americans for honoring our resistance, and a desire for building a more just future for all.  Questions for our listeners For Black August: How are you fasting?What are you studying?How are you training?What are you fighting for?
