In the Season 1 finale of APNC's Connections, we are honored to welcome Maryum Ali, the eldest daughter of the legendary Muhammad Ali. Maryum is not only a writer, performer, and social justice advocate but also has extensive experience in gang intervention in Los Angeles from her previous work as a social worker. Join us for a wide-ranging conversation as we delve into her transformative journey, explore her impactful role on A&E's "60 Days In," and discuss the critical intersection of incarceration and addiction. Maryum also shares invaluable lessons learned from her father and grandparents, shedding light on how their wisdom has shaped her commitment to social justice and advocacy. Additionally, Maryum talks about her book, "I Shook Up the World," celebrating its 20th anniversary and offering a unique perspective on her father's legacy. Together, we explore the importance of seeking connections in our lives. Tune in for an insightful conversation that highlights the power of connections, compassion, and resilience in the face of adversity.
