  • Memphis’ Hidden Talents

    What I like most about Verbally Effective with Ena Esco, is that she displays native Memphians doing good stuff!! I’ve followed some other online Memphis Orgs and what I noticed was that they were highlighting people who moved to Memphis (and are doing great things), but Memphis has so many talented people from the city. VE has done a great job showcasing Memphis talent, telling stories, and being diverse in their offerings. Kudos to you Ena and keep it up!
