Shaka Senghor signs HOW TO BE FREE at B&N The Grove

Join on October 1, 2025, at 7:00 pm as we welcome inspirational speaker, entrepreneur, and New York Times bestselling author to discuss and sign his latest publication, . When Shaka received his second parole denial after 18 years behind bars, he had a choice to make: surrender to despair or transform himself from within. Using daily practices like journaling, meditation, mindfulness, and creative expression, he turned his vision into action and discovered how to break free everything holding him back so he could step into his true potential.

Drawing from the profound lessons of his remarkable journey from solitary to the C-suite, he provides more than inspiration—he delivers a proven roadmap to transform your life.
