Note from Ella
The devil is a lie! I just interviewed this truly spirit filled woman with a story that will shake you to your core. Why did I mispronounce her name at least 3 times? Lord have mercy! I apologized to her but you know what, I'm not going to shelve this interview! 

This message needs to be heard by the world and I'm not going to let my ego get the best of me and hide it. This is a movement to better the lives of so many women and we are going to keep right on moving...no matter what!
