"Genius has powerful Black men and women all in one place. The underrepresented and diverse Black diaspora is represented here and is powerful. You can see yourself in the other Geniuses but also see where you want to be because you know someone exists. Most things are about levels - Genius in common raises the bar, builds strength in numbers, and redefines what a Genius is. I couldn’t be more proud to be represented and represent that Genius is Common."

She is now more motivated than ever to achieve her goals, and I am so grateful to GIC for making this possible. I am also grateful for the sense of community that GIC provides.

"The Genius is Common Concept to me means it's one of the greatest concepts of the 21st century for Black people. In a sense, it's the Black Wall Street for this day and age. When I was a Colored boy growing up in the South in the 60's Black people performed the majority of their daily business with Black businesses. As a nation of people, we lost that type of commitment to each other when integration took center stage and the Federal Interstate Highway system swept through America's Black communities like a title wave of destruction on Black businesses. Those two actions broke our will and divided us from keeping control of our hard-earned dollars. The two actions established by Federal law silently broke Black people's focus to do business among our selves. Genius is Common allows us a great opportunity to return back to a point in time where our determination is focused once again on us building wealth in our communities among our families. Through this concept, we can be committed to doing business with each other as our ancestors did many years ago.


-Dolton Calliet, Children's Books Author.

"What the "Genius is Common" movement means to me is that God had assigned Bruce a role to bring "the dry bones to life" as the dry bones shall rise again! Ezekiel 37:1-14. The symbolic meaning is the resurrection of the dead as well as a restoration of the cosmic order...Those that are last shall be first and Black Wall Street has revived again. Thus, the Genius is Common Movement is the beginning (Genesis) of the eschatological restoration, as well as reunification of Yahweh's covenant people."
