Georgianne Thomas, PhD personifies living “Life Plus!”
When author/filmmaker/activist Georgianne Thomas, PhD, survived a second cancer diagnosis, she didn’t sit back and take it easy. Instead, she dusted off a musical she’d written years earlier and performed it before a live audience just weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the world into quarantine.
“I couldn’t put it off any longer,” said Thomas. “If I hadn’t stepped out on faith and courage, I would’ve regretted it for the rest of my life.” It’s a lesson that Thomas imparts to the AIB Network audience in a new season of “Life Plus,” a series for older adults and those who care about topics of concern to people 50+. Hosted by Thomas, who’s also an adjunct professor at Clark Atlanta University, and AIB’s Community Engagement Manager, Audrey Galex, the series explores a range of issues – from finding love in your 70s to ensuring you don’t get scammed by Medicare fraud.
