Have you ever experienced the Essence Effect?
The Essence Effect happens when you can’t stop thinking about how much fun you had at
Essence Fest, and you can’t wait to go back. You even started looking for a hotel room before it
was over. You keep smiling at the pictures you took. The food you tasted, the events you
attended, and the fun you had keeps you daydreaming about Essence even weeks later.
The Essence Effect----is all over us.
We are so ready to head back to Nola! You have to come with us in 2020!
