Dr. Valerie Thomas credits her creative mind to her parents who provided "an inquiry based hands-on learning environment, in the home and community" of their historic, all-Black Cherry Hill community in Baltimore. She went to work for NASA immediately after graduating from Morgan State University. In her time at NASA, Dr. Thomas patented the Illusion Transmitter which produces a holographic image without needing special glasses. She has recently worked as a substitute teacher and been active with STEM organizations like Science, Mathematics, Aerospace, Research, and Technology, Inc. As well as SHADES OF BLUE.​
