Mrs. Thomas was born in San Francisco, California and spent her formative years in Modesto, CA a small town in California's Central Valley region. As a child Mrs. Thomas struggled with low low-esteem and self-confidence. Using the tools of self-affirmation, prayer, and quality time with God Mrs. Thomas began to gain her confidence and increase her self-esteem.
