Rochelle Forrest Chosen as Quarterfinalist for Social Media Reality-Style Competition

INDIANAPOLIS - May 26, 2013 - PRLog -- Aspiring thought leaders from six continents entered the 2013 Change the World Competition with the same goal: To spread their inspirational messages globally using the incredible power of social media.

Humanitarians, physicians, human services professionals, victim advocates, entrepreneurs, and innovators with life-altering visions applied - but only 25 were chosen as quarterfinalists. One of the standouts was Rochelle Forrest, founder of Tummies Minds Spirits. Through the use of a Business For Development Model, Tummies Minds Spirits (TMS) works toward providing education and training to children and young adults so they have the right tools and best skills to live their best lives regardless of economic circumstances. Through psycho-social training and development, parents and adults in global communities with demonstrated need are given the tools and strength to live a life beyond what economy dictates. Rather than imposing a world view, Tummies Minds Spirits works in partnership with communities and designated NGO’s to adapt our methods to the local culture and individual circumstances. By installing this model, we are proactively ending the cycles of both physical and spiritual poverty.

Change the World is a reality-style competition where the social media community selects the winner. The contest is sponsored by GhostTweeting.com, a full-service social media marketing company. Nika Stewart, CEO of Ghost Tweeting, created this competition to “discover and shine a spotlight on remarkable people who are devoting their lives to making our world a better place.” Ghost Tweeting partners with entrepreneurs, authors, speakers and thought leaders to create and manage high-impact social media campaigns.

In the next stage of the competition, a panel of thought leader judges will narrow the field down to just 10. These 10 will compete in online challenges to see who will be crowned the 2013 Next Global Thought Leader. The grand prize winner will receive thousands of dollars worth of social media marketing services to broadcast their messages over several social media platforms. The all-star panel of judges includes:

* Tory Johnson: Good Morning America contributor, New York Times bestselling author, contributing editor to SUCCESS magazine, multi-million-dollar business starter, founder of Women For Hire
