Hello everyone! Quick update. More and more media continues to spread across the globe for a statue of Missy Elliott in Portsmouth. BBC World News Radio last night was even kind enough to reach out to me for an interview so we can #MakeEnglandSupaFlyToo Our petition was only a week old as of yesterday and passed the 30,000 signature mark in just those seven days alone! I have really put in a lot of effort the past two days in contacting artists both local to this area and across the globe about input for getting a proposal on the table to City Council. Many of these artists have experience sculpting living pop culture icons so their expertise will be particularly relevant to this statue of Missy. What are your ideas for the kind of Missy statue YOU would want to see? Feel free to respond to this update or Tweet me @NathanKnope on Twitter with your thoughts. We are doing this together and I want to hear your voices holla!
