Tomas returns to GVSU to Debunk the Double Standard

NEW YORK, NY -- October 30, 2008: On November 6, 2008 Tomas Bell, president and founder of Tomasian Entertainment LLC, an internet based entertainment company, located on the web at www.tomasianent.com will return to Grand Valley State University (GVSU) located in Allendale, MI to present, “Debunking the Double Standard”.

This will mark the third time this year that Tomas has been invited by GVSU community to present. This first time Tomas presented at GVSU was in February of 2008. He presented the wildly popular and well received “Hip Hop and Homophobia” presentation. The second time was less than a month ago when Tomas performed an original one man show, “CHaiNS”. This performance was created at the request of GVSU’s LGBT student organization and was very well received.

This time, Tomas hopes to once again provide a thought provoking presentation with “Debunking the Double Standard”. This presentation focuses on the standards that may be applied to one group but not to another. And, how we buy into those standards and help to perpetuate racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, and the like - sometimes without realization.

States Tomas, “I always enjoy my visits to Grand Valley, even with lake effect wind, rain and snow. I hope this presentation will help the GVSU community to understand and appreciate the world around them even more as my travels to various places like GVSU have helped me to grow. This event will take place two days after Election Day, so I’m sure it will be fun.”
