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.

In 1968, revolutionary freedom fighter Grace Lee Boggs wrote an essay speaking to the definition and need for a Black Revolution. She provides us with a grounded assessment of what a revolution in the US means for our collective work. In this episode, Revolutionary Baddies dissect her essay, which is featured in “Black Women: An Anthology” by Toni Cade Bambara. Grace Lee Boggs was a Chinese-American organizer, writer, and educator moving through and with the Black Liberation Struggle in 1940s- 1970s. She advocated for evolution and developed a reputation alongside her husband, James Boggs, who was also a revolutionary organizer in Detroit. More than ever, the political and economic climate is calling for a new sense of urgency and a deeper understanding of what a revolution requires.
