"The Genius is Common^TM Movement is about tearing down the Berlin Wall of the word genius." Be inspired - Be engaged - Be empowered...

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

A woman from the inner city who knows how to micro-braid hair like Picasso painted it is her talent, skill, and 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^TM” in just a few words, levels the playing field of who is traditionally thought to be a genius.
