Sometimes life isn't just about the choices WE make, it's about how the choices THEY make, affect us. I Didn't Sign Up For This is an honest and unabashedly bold memoir by a woman thrown into a life of isolation after her husband was convicted of murder. Sharp witted and bracingly candid, Shabazz unpacks the adverse effects of incarceration on loved ones -often hidden and damaging-to tell a personal story of recovery from shame into a spirit-filled life of advocacy and support for the most vulnerable of society. Now a public speaker on prison reform, police brutality, and foster care, Shabazz recounts how life sometimes threw her down a well, but how through Islam, tenacity, and guidance, she was able to climb to new heights and rebuild her life. This memoir is for every woman playing the game of life, often with a hand of cards we would much rather throw back in.

Autorenporträt
Khadijah Shabazz, is a public speaker and global advocate for women and children affected by a loved one's incarceration. Originally from Ohio, Khadijah was formally educated in Cleveland, but picked up her most valuable lessons in the University of Life. For years, Khadijah served as a foster mom and safe haven for infants prenatally exposed to substances, as well as small children with behavioral difficulties. In addition to her work in the foster care system, Khadijah is often called on to support families affected by police violence. Khadijah has never shied away from serving the most vulnerable of society. Khadijah is the mother of two biological children, five adopted children, and twenty-five foster children. Currently, she lives outside of Los Angeles and is dedicated to helping women find their voices in whatever form that takes. As a devoted Muslim, Khadijah's faith gives her the strength to continue working around some of the most trauma-filled areas of our society.
