Our guest Richard Celestin operates his own law firm as a criminal defense attorney since 2014 and his consulting company since 2009. Richard Anthony Celestin is a graduate of The City University of New York School of Law. While at CUNY Law, he focused his studies on criminal defense and juvenile justice. Prior to entering law school, and since becoming an attorney, he has directed his work towards underrepresented and at-risk youth via the not-for-profit sector and with alternative-to-detention programs in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. He offers his knowledge and insight into the juvenile and criminal justice areas by participating in panel discussions and conducting workshops throughout New York City addressing issues and concerns that affect communities of color, primarily the rising arrest and incarceration rates of youth of color. Richard also serves as a consultant for various organizations seeking to develop youth-based programs within the community, practices various areas of the law, and is an adjunct professor at two CUNY colleges, teaching criminal justice, social justice and professional development. In addition to working with youth involved in the juvenile and criminal justice systems, Mr. Celestin created a limited liability corporation in 2009, Richard Celestin Consulting Group, LLC, for the purposes of developing and providing legal skill development, self-awareness, youth empowerment, and consequential thinking programs to elementary, middle and high school students in Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Long Island, particularly with youth of color. Under the LLC, Richard operates the Young Debaters Program, which has been implemented in over 50 schools and focuses on teaching students the skills behind debate, public speaking and oral advocacy.

As a motivational speaker, Richard has over 10 years’ experience providing relevant, passionate and empowering workshops and speeches to youth, young adults, and professionals. Ranging from small, intimate workshops or professional development sessions to large graduations, Richard brings a unique perspective and unmatched energy to his speaking engagements. The key to Richard’s success is that he speaks from personal experience, sharing stories of success and failure that he has lived as opposed to reading about from other sources, which develops trust and respect from the audience. Mr. Celestin has also self-published two books, his first book entitled “The Hard Facts About Soft Skills” and recently an e-book entitled “Embracing Adversity- Finding Power and Strength in Life’s Most Challenging Times”.
