Alicia D. Rogers has utilized her talent and business acumen to not only establish and maintain three flourishing businesses, but to benefit the community through various programs and initiatives. Besides owning and managing Cityhappenings.com, DT Media and Design, LLC, and ADR Inc., a consulting firm, Rogers is actively involved in several Triangle civic organizations.

Her company, Cityhappenings.com, LLC, is an Advisory Board Member of the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce, and Rogers served on the task force of the Chamber's Multicultural Business and Professional Network. Her business has supported numerous community events, such as the United Arts Awards luncheon; the Bull Durham Blues Festival and the annual Bimbe Festival, both of which are hosted by the City of Durham; the Aggie-Eagle Football Classic, the Black Business Expo, Women's Empowerment Network with Radio One, the CIAA Basketball Tournament, Women's Spa Day and a host of other events.

With the assistance and creativity of Ms. Rogers, Cityhappenings.com and DT Media and Design, LLC., are responsible for such websites as: CIAA2001.com and CIAA2002.com, the first ever basketball tournament websites for the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), which is a well known athletic conference consisting of 12 historically African-American institutions of higher education.

Deep Thought Media and Design, LLC. is a division of CityhappeningsUSA.com, providing clients with "Multi-Media and Web Solutions."  DTMD or DT Media and Design (for short) is owned and operated by ADR, Inc.

In 2001, Rogers founded the Business and Professional Women’s Network of Cityhappenings.com, a women’s social group which includes an active community service and outreach program. This ladies organization seeks to lead, mentor and encourage businesswomen.

In January 2003, the Business and Professional Men’s Alliance of Cityhappenings.com, also Rogers’ initiative, was launched, uniting and encouraging, and empowering the area’s African-American men.
The objective is to overcome the many stereotypes of our black men, changing the image often portrayed of them and in showing the community that brothers can come together in peace, unity, business, strength, networking and in other activities as a positive representation and to inspire our black youth. The vision Rogers has for this men’s social club- brotherhood is to unite the "brothers" in our community and cultivate an environment of positive change.

October 2003, Rogers founded two basketball teams in the Raleigh area—the Capital City Ballers,
a semi-professional team, and the City Jammers, a development and subset basketball team.

Capital City Ballers will be North Carolina's first semi-professional basketball team and the only semi-professional team to be owned by a Black woman. The Triangle (Raleigh-Durham) has the area's best basketball players (former professionals and semi-pro) and Rogers recognized this fact and acted upon it. She has high expectations and plans for both teams. Already, the National Basketball Development League (NBDL) has recognized her efforts and hopes to soon work with Cityhappenings.com Sports in recruiting.

Rogers may very well be the first African-American female in the country to own and to lead a full sports team. Under the direction of Cityhappenings Sports will be: flag football (women & men), softball, tennis, golf tournaments, volleyball, fishing events and a host of other sports and activities for the Cityhappenings.com membership and the community.

In past basketball games, Rogers charged each game spectator to bring three canned goods to support the NC Food Bank. More than two large barrels of food were collected, the attendance was phenomenal with a full house. More charity work via the sports programs are expected from the Cityhappenings.com Corporate Enterprises.

Through these and many other civic efforts, Rogers has and will continue to touch and encourage Triangle communities. Some have called Alicia Rogers a true trendsetter. Without a doubt, Alicia D. Rogers and Cityhappenings.com have made its mark in the Raleigh and Durham area. Through CityhappeningsUSA’s national program, Rogers plans to offer more franchises of her events, advertising and business website in 2008. At least 5-6 state and city expansions across the USA are planned. Rogers and Cityhappenings.com have reached tremendous and courteous milestones since being created. If you would ask her, she would simply say, “Stay tuned for more!”

Among other Cityhappenings.com business ventures in the years to come will be the construction of a multi-million dollar building in 2010, called the Cityhappenings Members Complex or CMC. Plans are underway for the development and self financing. Cityhappenings.com is actively seeking pledges and donations from its membership, friends and partners in this massive effort.

This facility will offer the community and members of Cityhappenings.com: a worship center, office space, recreational and a business meeting center. Also included will be a full size gym for its basketball team, a restaurant called Cityhaps Café; as well as; two large ballrooms and a day care center. The CMC or Cityhappenings.com Members Complex is the best to come. Cityhappenings.com continues to play host to many social, civic and charity events throughout the year.
