Indie Lens Storycast's video: Shaka Senghor Writes a New Chapter Pops Ep 9

In the ninth episode of Pops, we meet Shaka Senghor, who'd lost his first opportunity to be a hands-on father when he was imprisoned. Watch the next episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEiVse6WLgY&t=0s&list=PLh_qdzak59m7hl0pOCmzgOvK28KYwKWET&index=11 In prison, Senghor found a passion for writing and turned his life around, writing the best-selling memoir, "Writing My Wrongs: Life, Death and Redemption in an American Prison." Now he has a young son Sekou and is determined not to repeat the same mistakes. Despite being separated from Sekou's mom, the two parents continue to co-parent so their young child doesn't feel the disconnect.
