About this listen
At 14, Fatiha (aka Bam Bam) was a basketball star with dreams of Tennessee. By the age of 17, she was serving a 10-year prison sentence. In this powerful episode of the FreeHer Podcast, she shares how trauma, abuse, betrayal, and a broken system stole her childhood and how she’s now reclaiming her voice. This is a story about survival, injustice, and the fight to be heard.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 A Troubled Beginning00:19 The Turning Point00:41 A Father's Influence00:58 The Descent into Violence01:19 Life in the System01:59 Introducing Bam Bam02:37 A Tale of Two Lives04:20 The Double Life09:37 The Gang Life11:12 The Setup13:56 Facing the Consequences16:01 Legal Troubles17:24 A Troubled Youth and Legal Struggles17:55 A Relationship Turns Violent20:58 Facing the Consequences22:25 Life in Prison and Finding Support25:17 Reflections and Personal Growth29:18 Advocacy and Future Goals
