πŸ”΄πŸ”΄πŸ‘ πŸ‘  Vicki Dillard: β€œRoad to Essence” tour is desperation β€” using aunties to hype a declining Essence Fest πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ”΄πŸ”΄

Vicki Dillard breaks down Essence Fest Part 2 and calls out the β€œRoad to Essence” tour as a nationwide hype campaign meant to avoid another public embarrassment over declining registrations.
