  2. My Body, My Choice? Domestic Violence and Reproductive Justice

    APR 29

    My Body, My Choice? Domestic Violence and Reproductive Justice

    TRIGGER WARNING. Over the past couple of months, there have been several alarming and saddening cases of Black women being murdered by their husbands, fiances, boyfriends, and exes. We cannot shy away from uplifting the names and stories of these Black women and how pervasive  and insidious patriarchal violence is. In order to see a revolution forward, we must address how patriarchy suffocates the Black community and our society at large. That discussion leads to an intentional discussion regarding reproductive justice. Reproductive Justice(RJ) is a framework developed by Black women and strengthened by Black Queer people over time. It is a framework that goes beyond reproductive rights and pro-choice. RJ covers all of those things plus the principle of having safe and sustainable communities. Having safe and sustainable communities guarantees a better future for our children and everyone else. Reproductive Justice is not just a “women’s issue” it is a guide for a more equitable future. Patriarchy is antithetical to all justice. This episode is dedicated to Dr. Cerina Fairfax, Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer, Pastor Tammy McCollum, Qualeshia “Saditty” Barnes, Ashlee Jenae, Davonte Curtis, Ashanti Allen, Victoria Alexander, Gabryel Ayers, Raven Edwards, Teonia Stokes, Gladys Johnson, Daneshia Heller, Imani Dia Smith, Bianca Huntley, and Barbara Deer.

  3. Viva La Earth

    APR 22

    Viva La Earth

    This planet is all we have yall. Revolutionary Baddies covers a lively discussion on the damages of capitalism on this Earth and how we need to resist. In order for any opportunity of revolution to be realized, we must take our relationship to the land seriously. Brittany and Dee Dee draw the connection of land to the necessity of wellness. Wellness is not an individual process but a North Star for the community. This means understanding our food systems, lineage of farming and gardening, medical and health systems, and land development. This country is too rich for food deserts, and yet so many of us have grown to understand food desserts as part of the fabric of the US. We are not promoters of the Make America Healthy Again right-wing, traditionalist, capitalist movement. We are promoters of a human society that values wellness for the sake of the struggle for freedom. Questions for our listeners: What are some wellness practices we can do on an individual level?

  4. Audre Taught Us

    APR 15

    Audre Taught Us

    Audre Lorde left this world with an incredible gift of honesty, hope, and some deliberate lessons of the 1960s. More of our lessons of navigating patriarchy and capitalism needs to root in the very real and evil decisions of a few. In this episode, Revolutionary Baddies breaks down Lorde’s reflective and sobering essay, “Lessons from the 60s”, which explores the complexity of a time of great resistance, great progress, and huge contradictions. “As Black people, if there is one thing we can learn from the 60’s it is how infinitely complex any move towards liberation must be.” The complexities of capitalism, self-reliance, colorism, homophobia, liberalism, and the psychology of survival are all present in the struggle for liberation. Hopefully you leave this episode with more questions than answers and more space for holding the contradictions. Thank you in advance. “I am deliberate and afraid of nothing.” -Audre Lorde Question for our listeners Who would you be if you were free? Links for the show: Season 2.

    Say It Loud!

    What would this world be without Black Culture? Music, writing, films, fashion, language, archive, photography, architecture, inventions, dance, film, theater, cuisine, you name it! In every corner of this world, you can find Black influence on culture. In this episode, Revolutionary Baddies dream and discuss how the world currently tries to villianize and erase Blackness while embracing and harvesting our culture. This episode highlights the understanding of how important Black people are to this world because of our audacity to create, recreate, invent, uncover, build, and overcome with love. Black people are constantly giving this world our best, and if we could rid ourselves of racial capitalism, patriarchy, and imperialism we could give ourselves and this world so much more. Brittany and Dee Dee also call into question why our Black movements are not as directly connected to prominent Black artists of today? And what needs to happen in order to change this?  Questions for our listeners: What are you wearing to the Capitol? What are the many homes you have or the places you consider “Home”? What are the parts of the culture that are not mainstream but you love and wanna keep alive? Links for the Show: Season 2.

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

    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.

  7. 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.

    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.
