## Resource

Ellen Skrmetti is a comedian, author, and viral storyteller from Ripley, Mississippi, now based in Birmingham, Alabama. She first broke through with her "If the Queen Died in the South" series on Instagram, followed by her beloved "Hey Jesus, It's Me" videos, short, sharp sketches about faith, family, and Southern life that have been viewed millions of times. Her debut book, Hey Jesus, It's Me , is out now from Hachette. Ellen joins Kate to talk about growing up in small-town Mississippi, the unconventional path from beauty pageants and stage fright to going viral during the pandemic, and why bold prayers and belly laughs go hand in hand.        Reality Life with Kate Casey  What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com   Summer Reading List: https://katecasey.substack.com/p/books-i-cant-stop-talking-about-this   Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey   Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey   Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca   Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245   Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey   Vanity Fair Article: https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/story/martha-moxleys-diary?srsltid=AfmBOor1AVadYxDg9mPddfhreQOMcCE-M3FQtvB2IDV4jg5s9TFwJTo9 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
