W Thomas – A Lawyer for the Financial Services Industry

W. Thomas uses his law firm, regulatory agency and in-house experience to assist clients in the financial services industry. His focus includes mutual funds, ETFs and insurance companies that issue fixed and variable annuities.

Thomas introduced the biographical approach to social research by employing his personal written material as primary ethnographic sources. An accident inspired Thomas to utilize such materials.

Early Life and Education

Evidence supports the conclusion that early life circumstances have long-lasting repercussions throughout one’s entire lifespan. Studies demonstrate a correlation between well-being during childhood and later health, educational attainment and labor force participation.

Thomas lived an extraordinary long life (1891-1978) that was marked by creativity. Although initially inspired by Color Field painters such as Morris Louis and Gene Davis, she eventually developed her own approach to luminous abstractions using pointillism as her medium of choice.

Thomas was an integral member of her artistic community and played an instrumental role in shaping DC art scene through her affiliations with Howard University, American University and Barnett Aden Gallery (which she co-founded). At home on 1530 15th Street NW she created small watercolors, aerial landscapes and large-scale abstract pieces which reflected local surroundings while exploring space and its environment – reflecting both in their composition.

Professional Career

Thomas used her art career to inspire DC youth to find beauty in everyday experiences, as well as providing exhibition opportunities and cultural enrichment to Black communities. She showed at Barnett Aden Gallery, one of the first Black-owned private galleries, as well as being the first African American woman ever featured with a solo show at Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.

She also transformed local business by founding companies dedicated to waste removal and recycling, champagne imports, private equity investing, utility vegetation management and pipeline / asset management as well as utility vegetation management and pipeline / asset management. Isiah International (an investment holding company) is owned solely by her alongside five other businesses she founded.

Thomas has long championed religious liberty when it conflicts with liberal priorities. In Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. (2014), Thomas joined a 5-4 conservative majority to rule that the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act permits closely held family-owned for-profit corporations based on religious principles to refuse coverage for certain forms of contraception on moral or ethical grounds.

Achievement and Honors

Thomas excelled as both an editor for Emory Wheel and in digital filmmaking internship, taking on projects with a particular emphasis on empowering women and minorities. She stood out among peers by raising pertinent questions that moved conversations forward while creating space for other voices to be heard.

These abilities earned her the 2020 McMullan Award, which recognizes a graduating senior who exhibits exceptional potential for future leadership and service to the community. She will use the $25,000 prize money towards funding her graduate studies.

Personal Life

Thomas settled with her family into a Washington, DC neighborhood that boasted a vibrant middle-class Black community in 1907. Soon thereafter, Thomas quickly rose to become one of its prominent artistic and education figures; becoming Howard University’s inaugural art department graduate as well as visiting many museums throughout New York, Europe, and DC such as The Phillips Collection.

Her colorful paintings drew from local surroundings while reflecting an ongoing experimentation of color and form. As part of her pursuit of beauty, she fostered an artistic community that included Howard University as well as providing exhibition opportunities and cultural enrichment to children.

After Tabitha’s Secret’s disbandment, Thomas formed Matchbox Twenty with bassist Brian Yale and drummer Paul Doucette. Their early albums–notably 2009’s Billboard 200-topping Cradlesong and 2015’s The Great Unknown–were highly acclaimed, and Thomas and Yale were well known for their earnest emotionality in subsequent solo work such as 2019’s Chip Tooth Smile.

Net Worth

Net worth is an indicator of financial health and should be calculated as the sum total of an individual’s assets minus liabilities, such as retirement accounts, savings accounts and investments versus debt such as credit card bills or mortgage payments.

As one’s net worth can change over time, it is essential for them to regularly calculate it so as to track progress and make necessary changes as required. Doing this allows them to stay informed about any adjustments required based on current market conditions or any adjustments required in their finances.
