About Revolution Resolution with Anna Malaika Tubbs
Revolution Resolution is a five-minute, twice-weekly podcast from author and sociologist Anna Malaika Tubbs, drawing on the insights of her two NYT Bestsellers Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden From Us and The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of MLK Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation.
This podcast is for everyone, every race, every background, every gender, and every age. We have all been shaped, limited, or wounded by a system built on hierarchy, whether we’ve been pressured to conform to it, harmed by it, or taught to uphold it.
The Individual Step: Refusing the Internalized Script
What if the first system we need to transform is the one we've been taught to reproduce within ourselves?
In this episode of The Revolution Resolution, Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs takes the first practical step toward living differently: examining how patriarchy shapes our inner lives.
From measuring our worth through productivity and perfection to suppressing vulnerability, distrusting our own needs, seeking external validation, or believing we must control others to succeed, patriarchal conditioning can become an internal voice that keeps enforcing the system even when no one else is in the room.
Anna explores what it means to interrupt that script through self-awareness, rest, grace, emotional honesty, and self-compassion — while recognizing that individual healing must exist alongside structural change and accountability.
Liberation isn't only something we demand from institutions. It's something we can begin practicing within ourselves.
The healing continues here.

The Wisdom Before
What if patriarchy isn't where our story begins?
After spending much of The Revolution Resolution examining the systems, institutions, and narratives that sustain American patriarchy, Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs begins the final chapter of the series by turning toward something different: healing, reclamation, and the ways we can begin living differently right now.
In this episode, Anna looks beyond patriarchy to societies and traditions that have organized life around matrilineal structures, shared caregiving, collective stewardship, and interdependence — from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the Minangkabau to the Mosuo, Akan, Khasi, and West African Vodun traditions.
These histories challenge one of patriarchy's most persistent claims: that domination and hierarchy are simply human nature.
We don't have to imagine liberation from nothing. There is wisdom to study, practices to reclaim, and traditions of collective care that have survived despite centuries of erasure.
The question now shifts from "How do we survive this system?" to "How do we begin living differently?"
Welcome to the next chapter of The Revolution Resolution.
Let the healing begin.

American Patriarchy Is Already Written in Code
What happens when artificial intelligence learns from a world already shaped by inequality?
In this episode of The Revolution Resolution, Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs examines how AI can absorb and reproduce the biases, stereotypes, and hierarchies embedded in the data used to train it.
Beginning with the viral Lensa AI avatar phenomenon, this episode explores how technology can reinforce existing ideas about gender, race, beauty, power, and desirability — from hypersexualized images of women to racial bias and narrow representations of who gets imagined as a leader.
But the implications extend far beyond AI-generated images.
As artificial intelligence increasingly influences hiring, search, surveillance, recommendation systems, content moderation, and everyday decision-making, we have to ask a much bigger question:
What kind of world are we training technology to reproduce?
Because AI does not emerge outside society. It learns from us.
And if we don't interrupt the hierarchy embedded in our existing systems, we risk automating it into the future.
If this episode resonates, share it with someone thinking critically about technology, representation, and the future we're building together.
