The biggest change that needs to happen, needs to happen in November, and we had to get people of your generation to understand that, like we got to, we got to vote, because we can't just go.
Imagine growing up in a place where the very air seems thick with prejudice. That’s the reality Clarence Celius faced in Wall Township, NJ. In this episode of 'The Lighter Side with Jay', host Jay Casale sits down with Clarence to discuss his journey from a young black man in a predominantly white, subtly racist suburb to an outspoken activist for racial equality.
Clarence recounts the countless instances of discrimination he endured, painting a vivid picture of the challenges faced by black individuals in such environments. But instead of succumbing to the weight of these experiences, Clarence took action. Inspired by recent events and driven by a desire to create a better world for his younger twin sisters, he organized a Black Lives Matter march in his hometown.
The conversation dives deep into Clarence's path to activism, highlighting the impact of community support and the importance of voting. Jay and Clarence also touch on lighter topics like friendship, video games, and career goals, offering a well-rounded glimpse into Clarence’s life. This episode is not just about recounting struggles; it's about celebrating resilience and the power of taking a stand. Clarence's story is a testament to the strength found in unity and the importance of fighting for what’s right.
Tune in to hear an inspiring tale of courage, determination, and hope.
