Tomasia is a poet, media maker and communications specialist who is dedicated to community development. She interrogates issues of race, class and gender with her work and seeks to address social inequity through her art and career. She has been a teaching artist, has founded, directed and managed two community-based arts organizations and has worked to provide media arts and digital literacy programming to under-served NYC communities. Tomasia has also performed in NYC’s legendary venues like Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Blue Note and Joe’s Pub as well as NYC’s notorious jails on Riker’s Island. Tomasia has opened for the legendary poet Gil Scott Heron and has performed with the likes of grammy-nominated Me’Shell NdegeOcello. She has recorded one album, one EP and is a featured artist on many records including Ursula Rucker’s (of Roots fame) album Ruckus Soundsysdom, produced by King Britt. According to Okayplayer, “Tomasia’s rhymes are like a hybrid between MC Lyte and Angela Davis, a poisonous combination.” Tomasia’s documentary about racial ambiguity in America, entitled Middle Passage, has been screened at the International Center of Photography. She holds a Master’s Degree in Media Studies from the New School and currently works as communications manager for Partnerships for Parks where she uses new media to ensure NYC communities have agency and access to safe and beautiful parks. Tomasia lives in Brooklyn with her 15 year old daughter, Twilight Jones, who loves to make her freestyle in the car while they drive through the city streets.
