Barrino added that when she first met Taylor she didn’t understand why he would read a lot. But now she sees why he educates himself.

The 36-year-old gospel singer helped promote the project by encouraging her followers to donate their books to an address in Charlotte, North Carolina.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

This isn’t the first time we’re hearing about this couple doing their part to make a difference in society.

In recent weeks, Barrino and Taylor have been actively supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. They’ve also been connecting with their followers, sharing tips about life and love through their Instagram live series, “Taylor Talks.”
