Former HBCU athlete/models need support for new show NBC

Posted By: on April 02, 2012
FEATURED Content

Hello,

My name is Tiiffany Jackson and I am a former Tennessee State University graduate and basketball scholar. My friend Chekesha Johnson, former University of Arkansas- Pine Bluff graduate and basketball scholar have just started a new show called Escape Routes that premiers every Saturday on NBC 8/7. It is an interactive competition show where we are traveling to a new city every week (L.A., New York, Atlanta, Miami, San Fransisco, and the finale in Las Vegas). We are competing for $100,000 and a brand new 2013 Ford Escape. Both of us are former athletes from Houston, TX, turned models currently living in New York City. We desperately need support form our HBCU family as we are currently low in the ranking for online followers.



Although we are pretty known in both Houston and NYC, it has been rather difficult to really get our people to come together and support. Were really trying to spread the word about the show and would love it if you could help in ANY way. Throughout the show prizes are given to our online followers and we also need help from them for numerous challenges. (It's difficult to win without the support) So if we can get all of our HBCU fam, athletes, and models to come together, we can really GET THIS BALL ROLLING!

It's easy! People would just have to go to http://t.escaperoutes.com/team/chekesha_an... , sign up, and JOIN THE YELLOW TEAM! PLEASE let me know if you can help! :)

Thanks for your time,

Tiffany & Chekesha
