Un libro de memorias poético y poderoso sobre lo que significa ser una mujer negra en Estados Unidos y la co-fundación de un movimiento que exige justicia para todos en la tierra de los libres. Criada por una madre soltera en un barrio empobrecido de Los Ángeles, Patrisse Khan-Cullors experimentó de primera mano el prejuicio y la persecución que sufren los afroamericanos a manos de las fuerzas del orden. Para Patrisse, las personas más vulnerables del país son los negros. Perseguidos deliberada y despiadadamente por un sistema de justicia penal que funciona según la agenda de privilegios de los blancos, los negros están sujetos a un categorización racial injustificable y a la brutalidad policial. En 2013, cuando el asesino de Trayvon Martin quedó libre, la indignación de Patrisse la llevó a cofundar Black Lives Matter con Alicia Garza y ​​Opal Tometi. Condenadas como terroristas y consideradas una amenaza para Estados Unidos, estas amorosas mujeres fundaron un hashtag que dio origen al movimiento para exigir responsabilidades a las autoridades que continuamente hacen la vista gorda ante las injusticias infligidas a las personas de piel negra y morena. Patrisse, que defiende los derechos humanos frente al racismo violento, es una superviviente. Transformó su dolor personal en poder político, dando voz a un pueblo que sufría la desigualdad y un movimiento impulsado por su fuerza y ​​amor para decirle al país y al mundo que Black Lives Matter. Cuando te llaman terrorista es la reflexión de Patrisse Khan-Cullors y Asha Bandele sobre la humanidad.
