Transforming Society's Failure: The Omari Amili Story

Transforming Society's Failure is the autobiographical story of Omari Amili. Omari was raised in the Pacific Northwest where he attended over 15 schools growing up. His parents were addicted to crack cocaine and their addiction led to countless adverse childhood experiences and chronic instability.Omari began running the streets and hustling in the 4th grade. By the 6th grade he was kicked out of Seattle Public Schools. After being sent to an alternative high school at the young age of 11, Omari began to hate school and he never quite bounced back. Ultimately, he became a high school dropout and a product of the school-to-prison pipeline. In young adulthood Omari found a way to make a large amount of money and headed down a path of destruction that he mistakenly perceived as the road to success. Blinded by foreign cars, shiny rims, nice clothes, expensive jewelry, and a pocket full of money, Omari ran the streets with his mind stuck on hitting that next lick. However, as always when it comes to fast money, it was only a matter of time before the run was over and he was sent to prison on 30 felony convictions.Upon his release, Omari decided to utilize post-secondary education as a tool to turn his life around. Undeterred by prior academic experiences, and motivated by the desire to never return to prison and be an active role model for his kids, Omari defied the odds, fought through adversity, and flipped his GED into a Master's degree.Read about Omari's journey in Transforming Society's Failure!
