Common Launches The Corner

I know that I'm madddd late, but better late than never...right???

My boo (and apparently Serena's too), Common, has created the Common Ground Foundation which "dedicates itself to the empowerment and development of urban youth in the United States". Through this wonderful organization, he has spawned the "The Corner", an online book club geared towards 13-18 year olds. You know my boo lives in BK, so I had to show him luv on this one. I definitely respect the efforts to initiate educational success in our communities. To find out more about Common's foundation and The Corner click here.
