Jaden Smith, Lilly Singh, & Adam Rippon Join Forces at WeWork Global Summit

Jaden Smith, Lilly Singh, and Adam Rippon make a difference at the 2019 WeWork Global Summit!

The Get Down actor, the YouTube star, and the figure skater all took the stage to speak at the event held at the Microsoft Theater on Wednesday (January 9) in Downtown Los Angeles.

The WeWork Global Summit programming includes conversations and panel discussions with creators, innovators, experts and leaders from various industries, each with their own unique stories and insights.

Jaden spoke about Just Impact, his environmentally-inclined non-profit funded by his brand JUST Water, and their initiative concerning the water crisis in Flint, Mich.

“We’re running a pilot program in Flint, Michigan, where we are putting in a reverse osmosis filtration system that is going to be able to purify 10 gallons of water every 60 seconds,” Jaden explained. “In Flint, they continue to use 3 million bottles of water every year. Instead of having to outsource (all that water), we said, ‘let’s create something for you here where you can pump your own clean water, in your community.’ I’d been seeing them struggle for so long, and I asked ‘why isn’t someone doing something about this’. Ultimately, what I’m trying to do is to help people around the world.”

Also in attendance was Issa Rae.
