📖 Author Biography – Clarence “CJ” Clark

Clarence “CJ” Clark is more than an author—he’s living proof that survival, hustle, and discipline can turn a life around. Born and raised in the Capitol Homes projects of Atlanta, CJ grew up hustling Braves tickets, selling water on street corners, and learning early that the streets don’t hand out mercy.

From teenage hustles to life-altering mistakes, CJ faced it all—prison walls, betrayal, and moments where the weight of it could’ve crushed him. But instead of folding, he rebuilt himself from the inside out. Behind bars, he turned a cell into a classroom, teaching himself business systems, branding strategies, and discipline that would later fuel his rise.

After his release, CJ transformed a simple living room setup into a thriving photography studio, becoming one of Atlanta’s most recognized urban photographers and brand-builders. Today, he’s a mentor, entrepreneur, and voice for transformation, using his story to show others that no matter how low you start, you can rise higher than you ever imagined.

Reborn in the City is his most personal work to date—a raw autobiography of pain, growth, and triumph that leaves readers with not just a story, but a blueprint.
