Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your first guest. This conversation was particularly meaningful to me because there are people who wanted to reach out during my time of silence, but I chose to move forward and only be surrounding myself with those I trust and who genuinely love me. Your vulnerability and lived experiences have positively impacted so many, and I know you will continue to make a difference as you embark on this new chapter. I love you and couldn't be prouder of you!
@@BALLROOMTHROWBACKS would love to be apart of your interviews at least 1 or 2 episodes I am a mysterious force that would love to share sum insight on what makes me me .
I'm only 16 minutes into the video, and I had to comment. Ceasar, I'm so happy that you're still with us. You've touched so many people with your work on this site ad the passion you have for ballroom. We would definitely feel a shift if you were no longer with us. Sending love.
I’ll just say this Cesar I don’t know you at all but just observation from years of supporting your channel I think any to first say THANK YOU FOR OPENING UP AND BEING VULNERABLE AND SHARING THAT . Some of the Strogesy ppl I know will not ever say anything but deal with pain , stress , depression. Etc with a smile on their face . Im like that myself and I had to learn that you can’t always keep everything in and not address things that are weighing on your mental . As you stated our mind is one of our most powerful muscle capable of so much . I wish as a community we truly could let go some of the mistrust , envy , hatred , etc and really support one another like we claim we do for all these organizations . We need to first learn to be there for one another and love one another before we can even think about being taken serious by others . I’ve always looked at you as a Strong man and you just remind me so much of how my dad raised my 4 brothers and I . It’s hard for me to share things with other just because ppl have shown time and time again that unfortunately no matter how much someone claim they love and care and that you can open up about everything . Time has shown especially in this day and age that selfishness and hatred will render all of that moot . I say this to everyone You are LOVED NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH. Take the time to be a blessing to someone and truly learn to putting your physical and mental health as top Priority !!!!
Such a beautiful conversation between friends. Ceasar, you are sooo valued here on this side of the Jordan. Praying you gather the much needed strength to defeat the trick of the enemy once and for all. In Jesus’s name! 🙏🏽💕
Wow!! Caesar..because of your platform, I've been able to show my family ballroom because i love it soo much.. I'm sorry that you went through that patch of your life but just know... their are ppl that needs EXACTLY what you've been giving for years..1st guest makes so much sense. I've watched all yall grow Jacen, MC Debra, Kelly.. and i forgot the young dude that use to record but yall made aftermath aftermathing....I'm glad you're doing this.. it's very needed.. We ❤love you life you don't know... I'm happy you didn't give up on life!!❤❤❤
Congrats on the podcast, Ceasar! This was a great interview. You have a way of getting stories out of people that is impactful and entertaining. Great work. Looking forward to what's to come.
Cesar you're truly a remarkable interviewer especially in the art of making it a conversation. Jacen did not deserve that win in the least however he still deserves kudos for his accomplishments outside of ballroom no one could take that away from him. Great job Cesar please keep on with this.
I cannot express how proud I am of you during this chapter of your life. To know you is to know that you have one of the biggest hearts. A heart that is stern and wants the very best from those in his life.
Congratulations hunni. I definitely enjoyed the first show. The show have a raw feel to it. It's going to give the viewer a look into the ballroom scene and the ppl who are part of ballroom. I am happy for you. I am ready for the next episode. Love you hunni
I’m homeless (never been in a house), but I’ve been an avid fan of ballroom since the late 1990s. This was interesting interview. In all honesty, Jacen shouldn’t have been allowed to walk, let alone win over Jazelle because it was a conflict of interests. Jacen had a whole entire UA-cam channel with Cesar and Sinia. So even if favoritism was involved, the optics made it appear so. Also, I don’t feel that it’s about that persons years of work, Its about the effect they give on that night. We gotta stop rewarding people on “history”.
I'm excited to hear more from you, your life and your perspective with this new project! Thank you for sharing and thank you for all the work that you do!
are yall talking about the ball where Jacen was eliminated, reinserted himself, and then won over Giselle? Because that was NOT Iconic! Sorry! AND... i hope youre getting the support healthwise that you need Ceasar!
Everyone knows Jacen shouldn’t have won that. Its was an embarrassment to the ballroom community & proved that favoritism and politics will always override who truly deserves it. Ceasar, just be happy folks moved on, instead of rehashing this before New Years.
Caesar, I am led to say this. In life and especially in ballroom you can know a lot of people and little to none can be your true friend. When I was in ballroom, I witnessed a host of superficial relationships of hate built on fun share and bitterness, but there is a friend who will never leave or forsake you and Jesus is His is name. Until you believe and develop a friendship with Him, he will give you a peace that surpasses all understanding and you realize that you don’t need no one but Him! John 3:16 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Jacen, no amount of work on the outside will fix anything on the inside. It’s a temporary fix.
Pausing during the interview to ask this- so it may be asked later… I know ballroom is ballroom and friendships can be separate- but I wonder how Jacen feels about Caesar having the ex in his house?
I have mixed feelings about this situation. On one hand, I encouraged him to join Alpha Omega because I believed it would help him thrive in our community. Even during our breakup, I made an effort to act with love and respect, as he is someone I truly cared for. On the other hand, I find it challenging because it opens the door for too many people to offer their opinions or get involved in our decisions moving forward. It’s also tough because my family feels my pain and suffers alongside me. However, I recognize that I'm an adult and can separate these aspects of my life. I genuinely wish him nothing but success in his ballroom journey.
I’m confused - if Jazell originally sat Jacen, how was he able to come back? True T tho, Jacen has face - it’s just that we as a community keep holding ourselves to Eurocentric standards of beauty. Also to say that Caesar rigged the ball in Jacen’s favour ???? Either show the receipts or keep your mouth shut cause that’s beyond shade fr
He sat Jazell….. she came in ballroom and was eating the girls up. And that night I just felt like some folks didn’t want her to come in ballroom and snatch coins like she does in the pageants. 2 diff worlds in a way. Even when she sat Lola they Gagged.. some ppl just want who they want to win and that’s that.
@ anytime I’m glad you’re back doing these interviews ballroom needs you I don’t think you know how important you are to ballroom you actually bridge the gaps between the different generations as well keep doing you and keep this coming I love when you interview the people
