The promise of brotherhood in the Mexican Mafia was a lie, one that nearly cost Angel his life. He grew up in gang culture. With a struggling mother and no father figure, he thought he found belonging in the Mexican Mafia. Groomed by older members, he believed in loyalty, only realizing it was a lie years later. After decades behind bars, he courageously broke free. He survived multiple assassination attempts (including one that caused him to flat line!) but is standing strong in his decision to change his life. Now, he’s on a mission to expose the truth and steer others away from the same path.

Key Takeaways:

  1. The illusion of loyalty in the Mexican Mafia
  2. Angel’s near-death experience and how he survived multiple attacks
  3. His journey to redemption and mission to help at-risk youth

Now, just 18 days out of prison, Angel is learning to navigate the free world while dedicating himself to helping the next generation avoid gang life. His story is a wake-up call for anyone who thinks gang life offers loyalty and protection. Don’t miss this powerful episode of Truth Be Found. Listen now!
