We are thrilled to welcome an incredible guest to A Better Chance TV — someone whose life has been a powerful testament to service, compassion, and community impact.

📍 Meet Manasseh Thornton Born on November 7, 1975, in Youngstown, Ohio, Manasseh is the proud child of Robert and Gena Thornton and the fourth of five siblings. After graduating from East High School in 1994, he went on to earn a B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Criminal Justice from the prestigious Wilberforce University in 1998.

🎓 As a standout student, Manasseh was accepted into the university's Study Abroad Program and studied for four transformative months at Lancaster University in England.

👥 With a heart for service, Manasseh launched a career in Social Work, beginning at an Alcohol and Drug Prevention agency before moving into Children Services as an Adoption Assessor and Foster Care Case Manager in Urbana, Ohio. The journey continued in Detroit, Michigan, where he served with distinction in both Children Services and as a Community Program Manager for the Michigan Prisoner Re-Entry Initiative (MPRI). In the evenings, he taught court-ordered Anger Management and Parenting classes — further proof of his dedication to building stronger families and communities.

💍 In 2005, Manasseh married the beautiful and brilliant Dr. Imani Thornton, and together they are raising two gifted sons: Elijah Manasseh (13) and Caleb Manasseh (11) — both talented young men destined for greatness.

💬 “My entire life has been designed to help and aid those in need.” Don’t miss this inspiring conversation with a true community changemaker!
