The Roots of Black Essence is a place where you can come to be inspired, motivated, and see what lies beneath the struggle and dedication of our heritage. Our intention is to show young black leaders what they are capable of by viewing black excellence in the past, present, and future.

Frances Shepherd (LisaRaye) has been sent to the "pen" for killing her abusive husband. After being abused, violated and persecuted by the prison warden, the women from the cellblock rise up and revolt against the injustices of the penitentiary and the "new plantation" workplace that harvests human labor for big-time profit. Nothing will stop Frances and her fellow inmates in this brutal battle for justice.
