PORTSMOUTH, Va. — Rap legend Missy Elliott plans to give back to the Portsmouth community as she'll be giving out a free pair of shoes to students at Douglass Park Elementary.

Thursday, October 17, marks "Missy Elliott Day," as Governor Youngkin designated the day in her honor two years ago.

Students will be able to "one-two step" around the school and school officials say Elliott has a special video planned for students.

Elliott is a native of Portsmouth, as she grew up in the Hodges Ferry neighborhood and attended Manor High School.
