Carlen gives some game on how social media is not real life and that it can be a detriment if you let it and talks about what do you want to be remembered for. Then Carlen brings on, the young black visionary ABJ The Poet (@abjthepoet). ABJ is an 18-year-old poet, writer, and aspiring film-maker from Boca Raton, Florida. The two talk about heartbreak, being black in America, how black people are depicted in films, and pick each other's brains. His perspective on life is not the average perspective from an 18 year old.  Follow Carlen on instagram and twitter: @carlenauguste Follow ABJ The Poet on instagram @abjthepoet

Welcome to the debut episode of Open Space with Carlen Auguste. Carlen gives some motivation about not being afraid to do you, Carlen sits down with Marcos (@_lordmarcos) a friend of his who doesn’t look like him and is very active and vocal about the injustices and systemic racism that takes place in the United States, and encourages people to do what’s right and that having a “platform” is irrelevant, it’s all about doing the right thing.
