“I stand on the shoulders of greatness, because the brothers whose shoulders I stand on inspire me to be strong for others and lift them up.”
Education: Bachelors of Science in Behavioral Science: Mercy College
Clarence has worked for Lincoln Hall Boys Haven in Somers, NY for five years as a supervisor. “I wanted to give back to the community that I had caused so much damage in. I decided to work with at risk teens at Lincoln Hall Boys Haven as a preventative measure. I wanted to inspire teen boys to NOT follow my path of crime.”
Many of the boys have expressed to me that education is “corny or boring”, but I try to tell them that you can be educated and not lose your “swag” (the way someone presents themselves). When they see my documentaries and find out my story, they want to know what made me change my path and I always tell them Hudson Link.”
