21 Essential Questions | Day 7 | The Story of Assata Shakir

Today, we walk with Assata Shakur—a woman who faced the ultimate choice between family and freedom. Her story raises a powerful question: Can the fight for freedom require leaving behind the ones we love? For some, family and freedom are intertwined; for others, one path means letting go of the other. Morgan and Vanessa reflect on what it means to be left and to leave, to stay rooted or to break free. When family and freedom seem at odds, where does your heart lead you? Can true freedom mean choosing both—or does one dream sometimes demand the sacrifice of another?
