First things first, Rest In Peace DMX. In 1998, DMX released a single “Get At Me Dog” challenging the concept of loyalty and understanding who has your back by simply asking “Where My Dawgs At?”. In this episode, Revolutionary Baddies explore the lines of difference between “skinfolk” and “kinfolk”. They discuss navigating a Black American identity through history, reflection, sharing stories of being asked “Where are you from from?”. Colonialism has robbed so many people of not just items and locations but our knowledge and memory of who we came from. What does it mean to not know where you are from from? What does it mean to know where you are from from? How do the answers to these questions move you into action for the sake of collective liberation? If all skinfolk aint kinfolk, what can we achieve together? Big questions deserve evolving answers, and RB hopes to continue the dialogue alongside the listeners.

Questions for our listeners:

How high is “Being Black” on your list?

What do you need to know about a liberatory organization in order to say YES to joining?
