Hi Elie.
When I heard the news I was so shocked and couldn't believe it.
I remember the first day of Year 2 when you walked in..braids down to your hips, heels and a dress. Immediately I thought "only Elie could pull this off and look so cool". Effortlessly cool and marching to the beat of your own drum. Something many of us only ever dream to do - but you actually did it.
I'm sad that the rest of the world didn't get to see more of you and your talents.
I remember we were sitting at the back table in LG B208 and it was a particularly boring lecture when we had a very interesting conversation as I never understood why you decided to study PR cause I was convinced you should be an artist/model/actress/activist/etc expressing yourself - not be working on press strategies for selling the next handbag....
I was so happy to hear that you made it to NYC to be an artist and more importantly be your unapologetic self.
You were ripped out of life and it just doesn't seem fair...I hope that wherever you are, that you are happy and also thank you for being yourself, inspiring others and shining your light for everyone to see.
Rest in peace.
