For Ahkeem
A brawl at school sends Daje Shelton, then17, to an alternative high school under the watchful eye of the court, where she vows to turn her life around and establish a better life for herself in her harsh area of St. Louis. Focusing on school is difficult as she loses friends to gun violence, falls in love for the first time, and gets pregnant with her first child, Ahkeem, as Ferguson erupts nearby. By focusing on Daje's personal journey through adolescence, For Ahkeem provides a window into the struggles that many Black teens in the United States are currently facing.
