Show Notes

Chris Garces went from venting about his healthcare job on TikTok to becoming one of Hudson County’s most recognizable social media voices. On this episode, he joins Willie Gonza to talk about growing up in Brooklyn, being kicked out of his home for being gay, finding community in Jersey City, supporting local businesses, gentrification, affordable housing, Christ Hospital, and the unexpected journey that led him to a platform where thousands now listen. His message: Be proud. Be loud. Be unapologetically yourself.
