Michel’le Thomas was born and raised in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Michel’le is in her mid 20’s trying to live her best life the only way she knows how. In between living her life, she is also trying to break barriers for women. When Michel’le says barriers, she means all the things people don’t expect from women. Her accomplishments become that inspiration for other women in the community. Michel’le works to create the type of environments where women can walk in the room and light it up, talk that talk, and be comfortable.

Michel’le has a dream: a dream to empower and inspire women all over the world. To come together and create safe spaces where they can be themselves, gain self-love to accept themselves in every possible way, build confidence wherever they may lack it and create and share opportunities that can benefit all women. While doing these things for themselves individually, Michel’le challenges us to do it for each other. It wouldn’t be her dream if she was not making it a reality! It can’t happen without you. Michel’le needs you and we all need each other. So on that note let’s get to it #whatyoufeelinglike
