Misty Copeland .. on Everything….

Misty Copeland, A Day In the Life

How do you address the notion that the bodies of black girls and women were not made to be ballerinas?
I speak about it all the time. My body is very different from most of the dancers I dance with. I might not have the stereotypical “black body,” but I definitely am more curvy and have a more athletic build from most ballet dancers. I actually have a dance-wear line coming out especially for curvy women, because most dance wear is made for professional dancers who are very petite with small busts and no real curves. I also have a plus-size line coming out that focuses on support of the bust, while still being very fashionable and elegant.

I’m always loving this lady. #HerBalletSwag For a minute, I thought I’d have to check Prince …but it’s all good, he’s still the homie.
