Synopsis

Aziza Kibibi is a hard-working single mother with five children of whom she's very proud. She's described by most men as mysterious, free-spirited, and charming, while women find her confident, smart, and witty. But what they don't know is that from the age of 10, Aziza was a sex slave to her own father―and that her four oldest children are also her siblings. In Unashamed: A Life Tainted, Kibibi tells the true story of how she survived years of abuse, emerging into adulthood as the woman she is today.The eldest daughter of MTV-award-winning music video director Aswad Ayinde, Kibibi was abused by him sexually, physically, and mentally even as she bore his children, who were promptly hidden away. Living in a polygamous family, homeschooled and exploited, she knew no other life―but knew to keep it a secret throughout her father's professional life as he worked with celebrities such as Lauryn Hill and Queen Latifah. Following her from childhood to adulthood and exploring how she finally broke free and forged her own life―marriage, growing her family, and the emotional process of confronting her father as he answered for his crimes―Unashamed: A Life Tained is a harrowing yet ultimately uplifting account of how one woman refused to be broken.
