00:00Countdown to the 20th anniversary of the Essence Festival, July 4th weekend in New Orleans.
00:06Number 4.
00:07Well, working at Essence Festival since 2007, you've got to say that there's been a lot of amazing moments.
00:13I mean, seeing the crowd at our first ever family reunion day, the mass of people at the convention center Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
00:22But I think the one moment that really continues to hold with me is my second festival, 2008, tired as anyone could ever be, stumbling into the Superdome thinking, how am I going to make it through the rest of the night?
00:35And there's the whole crowd of people, the Superdome filled with 50,000 people, singing Mary J. Boggs, fine, just fine.
00:42And I was like, this is why I do it.
00:45This is why I'm here.
00:46So thank you, Essence Festivals, for giving me such amazing moments.
00:50And I'll see you in New Orleans so we can make even more.
00:52Buy your tickets.
00:53Then come back tomorrow as we continue to Countdown to the 2014 Essence Festival Live in New Orleans, July 4th weekend.
