Al Diab did not envision living a life of purpose and inspiration when he was facing life in prison 19 years ago. But after his release from prison, that is exactly what he made his mission out to be. He had paid his debt to the penitentiary, but felt he had not really paid his debt to society. He set out to steer young men from the life that led him to spend most of his teenage years in prison.
His story has inspired hundreds of youths to live a life of purpose and step away from all lifestyle choices that may be detrimental to themselves and their communities.

Alex has spoken to more than a thousand students through the last decade. He has spent the last 15 years working hand in hand with young people; helping them find purpose and define themselves, as they navigate the often difficult transition from child to adult. His candid style and authentic persona keeps the students engaged right from the first words.
