She carries a lot of power.
“I feel like I’ve worked very hard, and everything has been a part of the plan. This has been a six-year plan, ever since moving to Texas,” Thomas explained. “We've been working hard every day for this, so I earned it. But it’s still an unbelievable, indescribable feeling.”
