Synopsis

YuFROM TRAUMA TO POWER
BY ALM PROJECTS
A STORY OF SURVIVAL, INCARCERATION, HEALING, AND REDEMPTION.
From Trauma to Power is the powerful and deeply personal story of Luis Malave — an entrepreneur, community leader, advocate, and formerly incarcerated man whose life was shaped by childhood trauma, stigma, loss, and the difficult choices that followed. At just four years old, Luis was separated from his biological mother because of her battle with AIDS. His first trauma came from being sexually violated by people who were supposed to protect him. By the age of twelve, he was facing painful truths about his family, his identity, and the stigma surrounding AIDS and homosexuality — even though he did not have the disease. At sixteen, he entered the prison system, beginning a cycle of incarceration that would span years. After losing everything and everyone he loved, Luis finally found healing at the age of thirty-two. But freedom didn't end the pain. The real world brought new challenges, judgment, and a society that often misunderstood trauma. Through strength, resilience, and faith, Luis created the God We Trust movement — a mission to help others heal, break the cycle, and build better futures. From Trauma to Power is not just a story of survival, but a message of hope, accountability, and the power of second chances.
