Antonio Perez, Staff Writer

Will Smith started off by doing what he enjoyed most which was rapping and furthermore he wanted to become an actor/comedian. But in those early days of rapping, he wouldn’t curse like the other rappers at the time would. He would send out positive messages to young people. Will Smith has helped out in charity work or community help. He partnered up with his longtime spouse Jada Pinkett Smith and created WJSFF, the Will & Jada Smith Family Foundation. They work on improving local schools and recreation centers, fostering supportive, and sustainable communities. Other foundations Mr. Smith has helped are the Red Cross, Feeding America, Youth Health Improvement, and many more. He has also funded and impacted people through the Habitat For Humanity and Baltimore School Of The Arts. Smith’s foundation does not only help out organizations or establishments in the community that have impacted people but he has also dedicated his time and money into research for a cure towards AIDS and forms of cancer and other diseases. Will Smith impacts young people with his speeches and contributions to society.
