Sonequa Martin-Green | Sasha Williams
Before the virus outbreak took over the entire world, Sasha Williams worked as a firefighter—a profession that would apparently come in handy in the new world. Sasha became a council member for the Prison until its downfall. During this time, her lover, Bob Stookey, was with her every step of the way, but when he died, she developed depression and PTSD.
Sasha initially refuses to join the Alexandra Safe-Zone since she considers it a downright avoidance of the reality around them. Over time, she warms up to the idea of the Safe-Zone and joins, becoming close friends with Abraham.
