For nearly 20 years, Geneva S. Thomas has been a media maverick driving transformation and innovation for the world’s most iconic content and consumer brands. And now, the work continues in her founder’s era.
Debut Book
In 2024, Geneva signed with the United Talent Agency (UTA) and landed a six-figure book deal with Hachette/Legacy Lit. Her debut book SUPERVILLAIN is the first ever behind-the-scenes history on Black women in American reality television. Through cultural criticism and first-person narrative, Geneva dives deep in the memes, the mess, and the glory. Releasing fall 2027.
Meet The Knowing, a brave new era in Black creator media
Spring 2023, Geneva began engineering a content product to solve for the dearth of trusted and fact-based news and culture coverage reaching Black millennial and Gen Z audiences.
In summer 2026, the culture was introduced to THE KNOWING, the inbox-first media company for the creator era.
The Knowing’s hero product brings innovation to the inbox, marrying a mobile-first, DTC newsletter with the high-touch of a glossy magazine.
Each weekly issue offers reporting and distilled analysis on urgent global issues, interviews, profiles and cultural criticism on the worlds of music and Hollywood, alongside expert insights on best-in-class beauty and wellness.
