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?
