Revolutionary Baddies

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.

  1. The People's Crusader: Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett

    1D AGO

    The People's Crusader: Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett

    “The more I studied the situation, the more I was convinced that the Southerner had never gotten over his resentment that the Negro was no longer his plaything, his servant, and his source of income.”- Ida B. Wells-Barnett. In this episode, Revolutionary Baddies attempts to highlight and convert new fans of Ida B. Wells-Barnett. Wells-Barnett is a giant in both Black history and Women’s history equally, and also single-handedly ended lynchings in the United States. Her story is one of profound bravery, skill, and compassion for Black people and the lives we live in a country built to hate us. Her writings and publications demanded dignity and respect from all people and she believed in collectivised freedom. Ida is a guide for all of us, that we must do everything within our power to do and to keep going. There is so much more to cover and uncover about her. We honor her love, labor, and sacrifice. Thank you Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett. Questions for our listeners: What else should everyone know about Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett? Links for the show: Season 2.

  2. Whats Love Gotta Do With It?

    FEB 11

    Whats Love Gotta Do With It?

    Happy Black History Month!! Heading towards the holiday for love, Revolutionary Baddies brings an analysis of Black love and the concept of communal love. So much of Western society’s fixation on love is only in the context of romantic love and marriage. While those are important and irreplaceable aspects of love, it's critical for us to expand our practices of love to include our friends and community. White supremacy, patriarchy, and homophobia has stifled, narrowed, and limited our practices of love but in order to live in a more free world, we must reclaim revolutionary love. bell hooks says “Community sustains life”. And what could be worth fighting for more than love? So much of our current news cycle highlights the increase in violence, destruction, and unfairness. Brittany and Dee Dee bring some sense of levity and hope for a more loving future. Grateful for all of the community that loves on us. Questions for our listeners: Whats your understanding of love? What does revolutionary love look like to you? Links for the show: Season 2.

  3. Pan-Africanism From Mississippi to The Congo

    FEB 4

    Pan-Africanism From Mississippi to The Congo

    Happy Black History Month!! Revolutionary Baddies are so excited to celebrate and educate the mass during this month. This month’s episodes will cover topics that are not easily associated with history, but bring historical context on topics such as love, family, and the idea of being Black and unconventional. Pan-Africanism is a political movement that traces directly to the heart and resistance and fight for Africa and its people. Brittany and Dee Dee wanted to start this month discussing the foundations of Pan-Africanism and the movements and revolutions it birthed,  and why this information is vital. The liberation of Ghana, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and so many more African countries were grown through the ideological concepts of Pan-Africanism. Unfortunately, European and American colonialism still exists today, and in order to defeat such systems we must understand the peak of its capabilities and the sacrifices made before. Hope you enjoy! Questions for our listeners:  What other African revolutionaries should everyone learn about? Links for the Show: Season 2.

  4. "Claim No Easy Victories": PAIGC and Cabral

    JAN 28

    "Claim No Easy Victories": PAIGC and Cabral

    “Always bear in mind that the people are not fighting for ideas, for the things in anyone’s head. They are fighting to win material benefits, to live better and in peace, to see their lives go forward, to guarantee the future of their children…” – Amilcar Cabral, Revolution in Guinea, written in 1965. Amilcar Cabral was a freedom fighter, writer, and leader of The African Party for the Independence of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde(PAIGC) who fought bravely for independence from the Portuguese colonizers from 1956-1975. Cabral was assassinated before independence was claimed by his home countries but his legacy, words, and fighting spirit lives on. PAIGC was built to not only organize and fight colonial powers but to also build infrastructure for education and health during the long battle years and after. Throughout the guerilla fighter years, over 100 schools, clinics, and cultural centers were built by PAIGC. In this episode, Revolutionary Baddies provides a deeper dive into the liberation of Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau and the African freedom fighters that made it possible. In times like these, it is dire for our communities to understand the battles we’ve waged before and what is most applicable to our current struggle.  Question for our listeners- What needs to be built as we are destroying the systems that are no longer contributing to our sustainability?

  5. Black Queer History Is Our History

    JAN 21

    Black Queer History Is Our History

    In the US and around the world, binaries and exclusivity dominate the discussions and systems surrounding people and borders. In this episode, Revolutionary Baddies guides an understanding of homophobia and transphobia as white supremacy. Throughout history in many cultures of color there have been non-nuclear families and multiple gender expressions, but that history has been criminalized and divested from. Highlighting the Black Queer Freedom Fighters and the ways they have contributed to this country is imperative to our liberation. When we amplify our histories not just our struggles, we can create a fuller scope of imagining freedom. Icons such as Miss Major, Kuwasi Balagoon, Audre Lorde, and many more have built the movements we know today, while facing patriarchal violence, state sanctioned repression, and invisibility of their queerness. If we are serious about liberation, we must not allow the tentacles of white supremacy stand in our way. “No one is free, until we are all free.” -Fannie Lou Hamer. Question for our listeners: What will it take to eradicate homophobia and transphobia from our communities? What must be transformed to make this possible? Links for the Show: Season 2.

  6. Community 101: Tales of A Milllennial

    JAN 14

    Community 101: Tales of A Milllennial

    How do we define community in 2026? What is our responsibility to define a community? How much of an impact did the War on Drugs and 1994 Crime Bill have on the preservation and sustainability of the Black community across the United States. In the sixth episode of Season 2, Revolutionary Baddies discusses the history of Black communities, and what is necessary in the community presently. While sharing their own upbringing and learnings of community, Brittany and Dee Dee also share their dreams for the current project of building community. Dee Dee bringing specific experience of garnering community support when faced with state surveillance and white vigilante threats. Community is our greatest safety technology. In order for our future to be actualized, we must take seriously the lives, learnings, and practices of all of our people, especially children. Interrogating our understanding of community is the intention behind this episode. Franz Fanon said, "Each generation must, out of relative obscurity, discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it,". Revolutionary Baddies believe it is imperative that  our generation, the Millennial generation, discover its mission and take responsibility for the construction of a new community. Thank you for joining this community. Questions for our listeners: What does community look like in the revolution? Links for the Show: Season 2.

  7. Knowledge is {Black} Power

    JAN 7

    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.
