DALLAS, Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Legendary front man
for the rap group Run DMC Joseph "Rev. Run" Simmons wants to see
your inspirational social posts using #InspiredMobility on Nov.
22 for Social Media Sunday. Rev. Run will take
that message to the radio airwaves for AT&T Inspired
Mobility. It's a national conversation about how people are
connecting faith and inspiration with mobility. Rev. Run will also

Social Media Sunday is a time where people are encouraged to

and videos using #InspiredMobility wherever they are.
"Sharing inspiration with mobility is so much a part of who I
am," said Rev. Run. "I remember when I first set up my Twitter
account, @RevRunWisdom. My sole mission was to inspire by
sharing words of wisdom, and I'm happy to spread the word about how
others can share and connect around positive thoughts, especially
during the holiday season."
In a recent survey1 sponsored by AT&T*, 4-in-10
(41%) respondents said they use a mobile phone, tablet or laptop to

they use their devices to listen or download inspirational
music.
