Magic’s philosophy on giving back to the society

Earlier Magic Johnson had revealed his exciting take on giving back to society. During an interview in 2013, the host asked about Johnson’s philosophy on philanthropy works. He said, “When you grew up in the community, and you grew up in urban America, so man people just take, take, take.” Johnson grew up in a humble household in a small city in Michigan with his nine siblings.

He continued, “And you know I didn’t want to be one of those people who just went in and made money and then get back and touch the community. And I thought it was important for my brand to build it that way.” Moreover, the legend continued talking about providing computer access for children and training to the youth.
