Long before Afeni’s son Tupac was making waves in the world of hip hop, his mother Afeni was making her mark on this earth.

She was bon in 1947 and became a businesswoman, philanthropist and political activist. She was also a Black Panther!

Famously she defended herself after she was accused of being involved in various bombings as part of the Panthers.

After her son’s death she used money from his charity to help support young artists and continues to do so to this day.

She lectures and gives inspiration to many!

See her talking below about what she misses about her son.
