New Honorary Member of Gamma Xi Phi Professional Arts Fraternity
I'm very proud to be one of the four new members of Gamma Xi Phi Professional Arts Fraternity, Inc. The initiation was conducted at the first National Convention of the fraternity on Saturday, October 12, 2013 at GlassRoots, Inc, in Newark, New Jersey, where I met with this years other initiates - emcee, producer, and engineer Ess Vee; visual artist and graphic designer Hue.Man; and artist manager, videographer, and web designer Add.
“Sister Thomas is legendary and we’re so lucky to have her,” said fraternity founder and newly-elected National President Malcolm Minor. “Not only is she a talented visual artist in her own right, but she uses her position in the community to curate and promote the work of other artists. However, it’s her work as an educator which is most meaningful to us, because she has literally inspired generations of Newark’s young artists.”
