THOMAS posted on SOCIAL MEDIA: “I am deeply honored and excited to share that this NOVEMBER, I will be inducted into THE TEXAS RADIO HALL OF FAME. To know that my work was seen, acknowledged, and recognized by my peers in the radio and entertainment industry in a way that solidifies my impact as part of history is something a little girl who fell in love with radio could only dream of when she first cracked the mic at 14.”
“There are far too many people to list here who sowed a seed or played a part in this journey. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know my MOM, DAD, and my GRANDPARENTS would be proud.”
“I still remember the day my Papa stayed all day at the mall just so I could audition to win ‘DJ for a day.’ Well, I didn’t win, and he was so mad because he said I was the best. Well, Papa, today I won, and this one is for you.”
