Nothing Common about this year’s Vision Expo East

Award-winning rapper, actor and artist Common took centre stage at Vision Expo East in New York last weekend (March 22-24) in the first of Eye2eye’s series of talks.

Common, pictured, was joined by media personality and stylist, Lilliana Vasquez, shown far right, for a talk aimed at giving delegates inspiration on both storytelling and creativity. The rapper said being genuine was at the heart of telling a good story, as truth and honesty were the foundations of passion – a characteristic that people would always buy into. He also revealed that the timeless style of political activist Malcolm X was his personal eyewear inspiration.
