The ARTST.

"There were so many artists I could have idolized at the time,

But Missy was the only one who looked like me.

It is because of Melissa Elliott,

That I believed that a fat black girl from Chicago,

could dance until she felt pretty, could be sexy and cool,

could be a woman playing a man’s game, and not be apologetic about any of it."
