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.
