Thomas is a renowned singer, entrepreneur and empowerment speaker for Native culture. Among Thomas’ accolades was being the recipient of the Native American Music Award for her single, “Beautiful.” During her visit she took time to visit with HHS seniors Alana Johnson (left) and Ethan Begay (right) and encouraged them to celebrate their culture as they move through the world after graduation.
