CJ Pearson

MEET CJ

CJ Pearson is one of the most dynamic and unapologetic voices of his generation. A nationally recognized conservative commentator, Gen Z political strategist, and TIME100 Creators honoree, CJ has built a career at the intersection of culture, politics, and influence—fearlessly challenging the narratives of the mainstream media and redefining what it means to be a young conservative in America today.

From his teenage years, CJ has been on the front lines of the conservative movement, challenging the status quo and standing up to a culture determined to silence dissent. As Founder & CEO of RightInfluence, CJ has emerged as a trailblazer in influencer marketing, leveraging the power of creators to shape movements, campaigns, and culture. Under his leadership, RightInfluence has mobilized some of the nation’s most influential digital voices to drive narratives and win battles in the political and cultural arena.

CJ is redefining what it means to be a young conservative in America today.

Through his Cruel Kids Table event series—profiled by Vanity Fair, The Washington Post, and slandered by New York Magazine—

CJ has built a community for young conservatives in an era of cancel culture. These gatherings aren’t just parties; they are safe havens for fellowship, friendship, and freedom.

It’s why Sky News credited the series with making the Republican Party “cool again”—by giving America’s youth a movement they can belong to and believe in.

CJ also leads the charge through his nationally distributed Family Matters podcast with Westwood One, amplifying Black conservative voices too often erased by the liberal media. Each week, the show takes on the toughest issues facing our nation, reminding listeners that the fight for America’s soul is not just political—it’s personal, and it’s generational.

With more than a billion social media impressions under his belt, countless appearances on national television, and a track record of building bold cultural ventures, CJ Pearson has positioned himself as a voice not just for today, but for tomorrow. His mission is simple: to ensure that America remains a nation worthy of its promise—for our children, for our families, and for generations yet to come.
