Episode Topic: Ride for Equity – From Black Wall Street to Wall Street

Bill Clark:

Good morning. My name is Bill, and I am the host of the Scrambled Eggs & Ham podcast. Today is June 12th, and it’s hot outside here on the East Coast.

I just wanted to let the listeners know about one of our previous interviewees, Osborne Celestain. (Cancer survivor) is currently riding from Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma, all the way to Wall Street in New York City. That’s right — from Tulsa to New York. And get this — Osborne is the only Tulsan among the seven participants making this incredible journey.

When we spoke earlier this year on the podcast — actually, I had the good fortune of being out in Tulsa at the time — we had an interview over coffee at a local café. Osborne told me about this plan. I remember thinking, Wow… that’s ambitious!

And it is.

• 35 days on the road
• 1,645 miles total
• 50 miles per day
• 15 miles per hour pace
• And just one rest day per week

That’s a serious commitment.

The event is called the Ride for Equity — a tribute to the legacy of Black Wall Street and a powerful call to action for economic justice.

There’s a lot going on right now across the U.S. — from protests in California, New York, Philly, to Michigan. It’s a time of urgency and purpose. For Osborne to ride this route — from Tulsa to NYC — it’s what I’d call putting your money where your mouth is. He’s on the money.

Now, I haven’t ridden with him — yet. He’s been trying to get me to dust off my bike from the garage and start riding again. I probably don’t even know a pedal from a spoke anymore, but Osborne’s encouragement is real. My prayers go out to him and all the riders making this journey to Wall Street.

They’re expected to arrive in New York around July 2nd to 4th. Osborne actually reached out to me this morning. We were texting back and forth — I’m trying to keep track of where they are, what cities and states they’re passing through.

So here’s my message to you today:

Do something incredible. Challenge your own weaknesses — not anyone else’s.

This is Bill Clark from the Scrambled Eggs & Ham podcast.

Have a wonderful — and yes, very hot — week here in New York.

Stay victorious. We’ll talk again soon.
