I Shot My Baby Daddy

When survival becomes self-defense, healing becomes rebellion.

She didn’t plan to pull the trigger.
She planned to survive.

Shot My Baby Daddy is a raw, first-person redemption thriller about a Black woman pushed to the edge by public humiliation, domestic abuse, and the emotional destruction of her child—and the single moment that changes everything.

After shooting her abuser in clear self-defense, Nia is forced back into her childhood home, where four broken lives collide under one roof: a mother haunted by the abuse she never escaped, a sister stuck in failure and self-doubt, and a hustling younger brother chasing fast money and redemption of his own. Each carries scars. Each is running from something. None of them can hide anymore.

What begins as survival becomes transformation.

This is not a courtroom drama.
This is not a pity story.
This is a reckoning.

Told with emotional honesty and stripped-down intensity, Shot My Baby Daddy explores trauma, accountability, healing, and Black resilience without clichés or easy answers. It is gritty without exploitation, painful without hopelessness, and redemptive without fantasy.

This is a story about choosing yourself.
About breaking cycles.
About learning that self-love is the most dangerous thing an abuser ever fears.

Unflinching. Grounded. Necessary.
