Lansing Hip-Hop Team Partners with Eastside Business

Lansing hip-hop team, Urban Diversity, and Eastside Everybody Reads bookstore owner, Scott Harris, have developed a “you scratch my back I’ll scratch yours” relationship to help grow each other’s businesses and improve Lansing’s Eastside.

According to excerpts from the article:

After discussing a consignment deal, Urban Diversity’s Kemal Mailey asked Harris about the Lansing bookstore’s “Portal Project” with neighboring Gone Wired Café. 

“We’re looking to build a door that will connect us with Gone Wired,” says Harris of the collaborative project. “After speaking with Kemal and realizing that not only was he located right in our backyard but also that we shared a very similar mission, it just made sense to help each other out.”

To help the two businesses raise money toward their new portal, Mailey agreed to donate $1.50 from the proceeds of each copy of “Life on the Corner” sold at Everybody Reads to the ongoing Portal Project fund.
