The World Changers Program is a network of youth working collectively for positive community change.

In the seven years since its founding, A Better Chance, A Better Community(ABC2) has played a major role in the positive transformation of the Roanoke Valley from an area with too many unproductive, unsupervised kids with too much time to get into trouble to one providing young people with a valuable structured program which focuses on community development, youth engagement and fun.

ABC2’s signature program, The World Changers, is for young people ages 10 - 24 of various academic levels, demographics, and living in Halifax, Warren, Nash, Edgecombe, Wilson and Northampton Counties. Areas which suffers from health disparities and disproportionate systems of care & resources.

Some of the World Changers’ first projects were community garden plots at farmers market, state youth trainings, and launching a Summer Fitness Program for Teens. The young people drives the passion and mission of ABC2’s work.

(of the many models in Blacktopia) to be 

featured in BOTH the Southeast Hip Hop Models section 

AND on The Blacktopia Mobile App. (the ONLY 3

other models that were featured in both are

Tyah Pierce, Tiah Coffey and Sidney Ware) although 

there are many models that are also members of Blacktopia

that were only featured in one or the other, those 

4 were the only ones that have appeared in both.

*  Tanisha J. Blanton was the FIRST model 

featured in the Blacktopia Mobile App. and

images of Tanisha J. Blanton were featured in screenshots

occasional co-host).  Tanisha J. Blanton was 

unable to juggle the duty of being a co-host during the time

#WCW (WomanCrushWed / WedClassyWoman): Mieesha Hutchinson

          We are sure that this next Blacktopian #WCW (WomanCrushWed / WedClassyWoman) Award recipient has lots of hidden talents (aside from being an amazing cook), but unlike the other recipients today she's not in the spotlight, however Blacktopia would like to spotlight this small woman with such a big kind heart because although she may not be a singer, poet, designer, model, etc. etc., her role is just as important because without her.... the singers, models, poets, designers etc. wouldn't have an audience!  Mieesha Hutchinson is a dedicated follower and supporter of all the talented women featured in Blacktopia.

She's there to listen to the singers perform their music, watch and compliment the models on their photos and beauty, admire the designers work, read the poets and writers material and she gladly enjoys every moment of it!  

Mieesha may not be in the spotlight, but without dedicated viewers like her and may others, there wouldn't be anyone there to admire the talented individuals featured under the spotlight.  Well, Blacktopia would like to shine that light on one of the members that help keep Blacktopia alive just by admiring the work of the other Blacktopians, and we all would like to thank her for that!
