Missy Elliot donated $50,000 to her hometown housing organisation in Portsmouth, Virginia, a year after the town honoured the rapper with an eponymous 17 October holiday, “Missy Elliot Day.”
According to The Virginian Pilot, Portsmouth Redevelopment and Housing Authority executive director Alisa Winston revealed Elliot’s donation during a special ceremony at the Dr O Marriner Family Life Center at Grove Church. At the ceremony, the “Work It” rapper gave a short speech, telling the audience how she’d planned something big in honour of the first anniversary of “Missy Elliot Day.”
