“The Genius Is CommonTM movement is about tearing down the Berlin Wall of the word genius.” Be inspired – Be engaged – Be empowered…

“Genius is Common” means that all beings have a genius in them.
Genius manifests itself through each being’s own unique way of expressing their passion, be it their profession, their art, their talent.

An example can be a woman from the inner city who knows how to micro braid hair like Picasso painted; her skill, her talent is her genius.

Positioned to become a part of the American lexicon like Nike’s “Just Do It” and Sprite’s “Obey your thirst,” “Genius is Common,” in just a few words, levels the playing field of who and what is traditionally thought to be a genius.
