His search for answers led him to study the African American struggle for equality and to the teachings of Charles Hamilton Houston, the legendary civil rights architect who declared,

“A lawyer is either a social engineer or a parasite on society.”

That philosophy became the foundation of Osiris’s mission: to use the law as a tool of social engineering—a means of building equitable systems, community wealth, and collective power.

Osiris earned his Juris Doctor with honors from Florida A&M University College of Law, followed by an LL.M. in Taxation from the University of Florida Levin College of Law. He also holds an MBA from Morgan State University. This interdisciplinary foundation—spanning law, finance, and social systems—equips him to address injustice not just in the courtroom, but in the structures that perpetuate inequality.

Before entering education and nonprofit leadership, Osiris worked on Wall Street, where he gained firsthand knowledge of how financial systems create and distribute power. That experience honed his analytical and strategic skills and deepened his resolve to design community-based economic models that generate equity rather than exploitation.

In 2010, Osiris moved to Baltimore City, accepting a teaching position at Baltimore City Community High School, an alternative school serving youth who had been failed by traditional institutions. Over the next fifteen years, he became a mentor, advocate, and civic leader, guiding hundreds of students toward purpose and possibility. Through that experience, he came to see education as a form of justice—and justice as a form of education.

Out of that conviction grew Eden Community Ventures Corporation, founded in 2014 as a platform for social entrepreneurship and economic self-determination. Eden trains emerging leaders and youth to create mission-driven businesses and community enterprises designed to lift people out of poverty and dependency.

From this foundation emerged Eden Law Center—a Social Engineering Law Firm that redefines what it means to practice law in America’s immigrant and underserved communities. Eden Law Center operates as a civic laboratory for justice—integrating legal advocacy, community education, and economic participation into one unified model.

 
Eden Law Center’s mission is rooted in the belief that immigrant and underserved communities must control and govern their own tangible and intangible assets—land, housing, businesses, culture, and networks—to build lasting prosperity. Its work spans immigration, business formation, and asset protection, but always through the lens of empowerment, not dependency.

Osiris calls this approach “practicing liberation.” For him, the law is not a service to be sold but a public technology for building freedom. His leadership advances what he calls the New American Bishopric—a model that merges moral authority, economic stewardship, and educational leadership to engineer sustainable systems of justice.

“At Eden Law Center, we don’t just practice law—we engineer liberation. The law is not an end in itself but a tool to build equity, restore dignity, and create pathways for communities to govern their own futures.”
