Assata Shakur joined the Ancestors on September 25th, 2025 in Cuba where she lived as a political refugee. Who she was and what she stood for lays deep in my heart. I wanted to focus on her radical decision to bring a child into an anti-Black colonial world. Assata chose to live. She chose to take back her autonomy and not let the cruel world kill her children in her mind before they were even born.

Her decision to bring a child, Kakuya, into this world demonstrates the pillars of to maintain autonomy and the choice of whether or not to have children.

Rest in power, Assata Shakur.
