From her jail cell, eight months pregnant Afeni Shakur pens a letter to her unborn child, retracing the path from Alice Faye Williams to a revolutionary voice in Harlem. Drawn into the Black Panther Party’s vision of self-determination, she discovers purpose, love, and community only to face betrayal, internal fractures, and the government’s campaign to destroy the Panthers. Thrust into leadership and charged with 189 felonies, Afeni’s story is not only one of survival under impossible odds, but of a woman, a mother, and a leader reckoning with resilience, justice, and the power of defining her own name.
