Ep. 31: "Vibing With Brooklyn's Borough President" (with Hon. Eric Adams)
IN MY HEAD with Jay Blessed
02/26/20 • 63 min
In honor of Black History Month, Brooklyn’s Borough President, Hon. Eric L. Adams, sat down with award-winning Caribbean podcaster Jay Blessed in a rare conversation on his prismatic personal life, controversial career as a 22-year NYPD veteran, challenging political rise and his passionate pursuit to be the next Mayor of New York City.
Despite the traumatic experience of being innocently arrested and beaten by cops at 15 years old, along with his younger brother, Adams chose to become an NYPD officer to be the change he wanted to see in his community, by using his voice and service as a form of therapy.
The 2021 NYC Mayoral Candidate and formidable frontrunner shares his vulnerability in this unconventional and transparent podcast interview. Though some might consider him pugnacious, controversial and a firebrand, Adams shares that his dedication towards being a rebellious public servant has been deeply rooted in disrupting and correcting unfair, unjust and unhealthy societal norms.
Jay Blessed skillfully leads this 63 minute light-hearted yet complex conversation, packed with raw emotions and covering a range of topics such as: Mental Health, Mindfulness, Police Brutality, Public Safety, Immigration Issues and Reform, Voting Rights, Diabetes, Food Justice, School Nutrition, Plant-Based Health, African American Men’s Health. Affordable Housing, Gentrification, Real Estate Fraud, Homelessness, Women’s Rights, Women’s Equal Pay, Corruption Scandals, Race-Based Brutality, Caribbean-American Issues.
Adams brings his receipts as he declares, “I didn’t go into the police department because I wanted to, I went into the police department because I was called to. I’m not running for Mayor because I want to, I’m running for Mayor because I’m called to!”
Get some laughs, learn something new and get to know the man behind the titles, as we get inside the head of the Borough President and, possibly, next Mayor of New York City!
Do you believe Eric Adams has what it takes to be the next Mayor of New York City? Use the official hashtag #HeadwithJB and share your thoughts with us on social media.
