In a world where social media scrolls can sometimes amplify stress rather than soothe it, one local nonprofit is flipping the script.
On November 11, The Better Days Project—an Atlanta-based organization dedicated to delivering STEAM-based (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) mental health solutions for youth and young adults—will host Influence to Impact, an inspiring workshop designed to empower BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) youth and young adults.
Empowering Tomorrow’s Creators: The Better Days Project
This free event transforms creativity into a powerful toolkit for healing, entrepreneurship, and purpose-driven careers, proving that positive change starts with a single, authentic post.
The workshop is a cornerstone of The Better Days Project’s ongoing Workforce Development Series, known as The Blueprint.
This innovative program reimagines traditional mental health support by blending life skills training with creative confidence-building and entrepreneurial strategies.
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape—where TikTok trends and Instagram reels shape careers as much as resumes—The Blueprint equips participants with the tools to not just survive, but thrive.
From crafting viral content that promotes self-care to launching side hustles rooted in personal passions, the series addresses mental health disparities head-on, fostering resilience and opportunity for underserved communities.
At the heart of tomorrow’s event is a dynamic conversation led by Jordyn Weaver, the trailblazing CEO of Forefront, a cutting-edge UGC (user-generated content) influencer marketplace.
Weaver, whose platform connects authentic creators with brands seeking genuine storytelling, will guide attendees through the art of turning online influence into real-world impact.
Her session will explore how young creators can harness their voices for mental health advocacy, monetize their talents ethically, and build sustainable paths forward—all while staying true to their unique narratives.
What makes Influence to Impact truly special? It’s not just about the “how-to”—it’s about the heart. The Better Days Project, founded by Mekhi Hill on the belief that creativity is a cornerstone of emotional well-being, has already touched hundreds of lives through similar initiatives.
