Transforming Society's Failure: From Felonies to College Degrees

Transforming Failure: From Felonies to College Degrees is the autobiographical story of author Omari Amili.

Omari's childhood was dominated by poverty, addiction, homelessness, and chronic instability. He attended over 15 schools growing up and began running the streets and hustling at a very young age.

In his teenage years, Omari learned of a bank fraud scheme that he believed could turn around his fortunes and provide him with all of the things poverty had deprived him of. Little did he know, it was actually going to lead him down a path of destruction, with 30 felony convictions on the other side.

Upon his release from prison at 23 years-old, Omari left the life of crime behind and turned to post-secondary education to make something of himself. Along the way he earned four college degrees total, including a Master's in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Washington, where his research focus was on preventing recidivism for formerly incarcerated people.

Read about Omari's journey in going from his disadvantaged childhood, to becoming a highly educated and successful community leader in Transforming Failure!
