In Tears Dry and Wounds Heal, Leon El-Alamin invites readers to walk in his shoes, from his early days as a drug dealer on the harsh streets of Flint, Michigan, to the life-altering moment he was shot, and his subsequent incarceration. It was within the stark walls of a prison cell that Leon discovered a new path for his life. Upon his release, he established the M.A.D.E. Institute, a beacon of hope aimed at dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline that traps so many in his community. This book is not just a memoir; it’s a powerful testament to the capacity for transformation, the resilience of the human spirit, and the profound impact one individual can make. Journey with Leon as he navigates from the gritty streets of Flint to becoming a catalyst for social change.
Pain is poetry I try to demonstrate the power of words to inspire a generation that’s caught in a web of “Oppression” that comes in the form of ignorance, poverty, irresponsibility and violence.
