MALIK WADE has lived three lives. As a teenager, he was an enterprising drug dealer. As a young man, he was a fugitive from the FBI and eventually a prison inmate. As an adult, Malik transformed his life to become a mentor, author, entrepreneur, and the executive director of Scholastic Interest Group (SIG). Malik Wade was born and raised in low-income housing in San Francisco during the 1980s at the peak of the crack cocaine epidemic that swept through America's inner cities. Malik was a good student and superior athlete, but his life would change forever when he sold his first rock of crack cocaine at the age of 15. Over the next two decades, Malik would experience a turbulent, yet amazing, personal transformation. Malik is a leading voice for youth and is spearheading a national youth mentoring movement to help save the lives of young people in inner cities and underprivileged communities. Malik is a thought leader whose story of personal transformation has motivated and inspired many. In 1993, Malik was put on the FBI’s wanted list, which resulted in him being a fugitive for seven years. He was subsequently arrested and served a fourteen-year federal prison term for conspiracy to distribute cocaine. Today, he is the founder and executive director of SIG, a non-profit mentoring program that works with at-risk youth. Malik speaks at universities, such as Stanford, UC Berkeley, and Cal State University, San Francisco, as well as at juvenile halls and high schools across the nation. Website: http://malikwade.com
