President Barack Obama shared an exclusive statement with Russell Simmons, Founder of GlobalGrind.com, on the future of America for today’s youth, which can be found today through GlobalGrind.com and Myspace.com.
“As a long-time supporter of President Obama, I am pleased to bring his important message of winning the future to the young people of this great nation,” said Simmons.
“Whether it’s jobs, health insurance, college loans and grants, health care, clean energy or criminal justice reform, the issues that we deal with today can change tomorrow with the power of this generation.”
In a recent “takeover” of the social media giant, Myspace has extended Simmons title as celebrity “Editor-In-Chief”, where he brought his vision of Hip-Pop by hosting the ‘Hip-Pop Challenge’ – a search for the best musicians in hip-hop and pop, and started the Myspace curators program, which identifies leaders in each category whose reputation and knowledge around specific entertainment topics and emerging cultural trends makes them uniquely influential.
“Russell is a true definition of a curator,” says Mike Jones, Myspace CEO. “His influence, combined with the power and reach of a platform such as Myspace, has inspired even the President to want to get involved in the conversation. We’re proud to help Russell Simmons and President Obama spread the message of setting goals and chasing passions to our global youth audience.”
