Episode 6 covers Revolutionary Baddies's favorite topic: Revolution! In this episode, Dee Dee and Brittany grounds the discussion of rebellion with the historic triumph of the Haitian Revolution of 1791.Throughout history, resistance led by oppressed people has been understudied, delegitimized, and white washed for the sake of maintaining control of the narrative. The Haitian Revolution is the most successful and transformative revolution in the history of the western world. RB believes it is our collective duty to know as much as possible about uprisings and resistance led by oppressed people in order to dream of the future we deserve. Dee Dee and Brittany discuss the propaganda against revolutions and how much the world has shifted since 1791. Having “that dawg” in you speaks to the personification of fight, resilience, and ungovernability that is necessary to achieve freedom and liberation. In the Revolutionary Baddies Manifesto, it states, “The reality is that revolution is a notion as old as civilization, and a requirement for those that intend to survive as societies evolve.” Society is evolving everyday which requires us to get serious about what we want our society to transform into.
