She created and directs the group’s women’s vocal ensemble, Vox Feminae, sometimes writing and arranging music for them. Twelve Musica da Camera productions featuring the Thais as soloist have been broadcast on National Public Radio, American Public Radio and Public Radio International. She was featured on the internationally acclaimed series Creole Cameos produced by WWNO, and Arc Light, a video series produced by Amistad Research Center.
