Awesome in Action: Wanda Thomas

Mom and Visual Storyteller

We were in a Facebook group together and I noticed that she posted often. With authority, she dropped gems filled with insight and a desire to see others prosper, and with that, I knew I’d wanted to connect with her and I’m glad that I did. Wanda has a heart for people and stories and she seeks to work with both in her photography business. Learn more about her here!
