Black Feminism. Ladies, Are We Locked In?

Where would we be without radical Black feminism? One obvious answer is, Revolutionary Baddies would not exist. They stand on the shoulders and move with the urgency and examples of ICONIC Black feminists that shaped history in spite of this country. In this episode, Brittany and Dee Dee give light to the necessary struggle waged against patriarchy and misogyny, as we fight white supremacy and imperialism. Our future depends on our ability to come together for these changes and make space for new ways of being. However, Black Feminism has been co-opted by mainstream US media and neoliberalism focusing on “girl bosses” and “Black excellence”. This must be examined, challenged, and developed by us for the sake of future generations. This isn't just about challenging men, although we need to. This isn't just about being well represented in industries and film, although we need that too. We dont need an all women space tour performing progress. We need the power to transform society.  Question for our listeners: Who are some Black feminist icons that inspire you? Why?Do you identify as a Black feminist?Links for the show- Season 1.
