"imagine where i'd be if i never learned the truth" - @PresidentELLA

[Mr. Hip Presents @MrHipPresents]

Although she retired from poetry,
@PresidentELLA is killin' it in our #MrHipPresents poetry event right now with her music. This screen grab doesn't do her lyrical prowess and powerful voice justice!

[Mr. Hip Presents @MrHipPresents]

"We should always vote for ourselves" - wise words from @PresidentELLA, explaining the "president" in her name

[Mr. Hip Presents @MrHipPresents]

Our next reader @PresidentELLA is a busy lady! An interview with @alphaartsally AND another event? Thanks for spending a slice of your night with us! #MrHipPresents
