The Story. The Movement. The Voices.
A memoir of struggle, political awakening, brotherhood, and the grassroots organizing that built the Guerrilla Mainframe—told by people connected to the work itself.
We Are Balogun is both memoir and historical record: a collective account of organizing in Dallas and the people, ideas, relationships, and experiences that shaped a movement.
The book traces the development of the Guerrilla Mainframe through community organizing, political consciousness, activism, and institution building. Its central conviction is simple: movements are never the creation of one person. They are built through shared sacrifice, disagreement, setbacks, victories, and people willing to stand together for something larger than themselves.
Yafeuh Balogun’s account is joined by the perspectives of Erick Khafre Balogun and Kilaika Anayejali Shakur, preserving a history through more than one voice.

For Yafeuh, We Are Balogun is both memoir and record. He documents a journey of community organizing, political consciousness, activism, and institution building while preserving the experiences and ideas that motivated the people involved.
Erick’s perspective brings the Guerrilla Mainframe’s history to life through memories connected to its experiences, conversations, and ideas. His testimony reminds readers that history also lives in the people who experienced it.
Kilaika’s contribution expands the story beyond a single narrator and preserves its collective character. Her perspective reveals another dimension of the relationships, experiences, and people surrounding the movement.
Three people.
Three voices.
One history.

This is not simply a story about what happened. It is a story about the people who were present, what they attempted to build, and why their experiences still matter.
Through the Guerrilla Mainframe connection, the book carries forward a history of grassroots education, disciplined organizing, and community defense in Dallas.
