Kimberly “Isis” Thomas is a multimedia entrepreneur and creator with more than 16 years in the media industry spanning fields as a media personality, speaker, website creator and radio personality. The founder of IHearThatGirl.com, a premier site for positive women, is touring HBCUs around the country with her latest production, “Stronger.”
“This idea came about after thinking of numerous ideas of how to lead and guide our black males. While pondering solutions, I got the revelation that our women are the answer,” shares Thomas. “Listening to Steve Harvey, he often says that, ‘A man will change for that one woman.’ This statement served as confirmation for me, women should not settle. So, it is obvious that we must strengthen our young women with enough confidence, self-worth and esteem to not accept the negative things that guys are offering. By making our young females stronger, our males will have to rise up to gain their respect.
“HBCU students will benefit greatly from this forum targeted at audience of young African American adults mainly females between the ages of 19-28,” says Thomas.
