She Is History
Misty Copeland
Misty has made more than a name for herself. She has came to make history and she does it in one of the most classical ways. I don't think that it's just talent but watching her made me realize that ballet is a beautiful gift that she has mastered. Misty fell in love with ballet when she was living in a hotel. Starting ballet at 13 seemed to be a late start but it didn't take long before she was at the number 1 spot in her awards. Moving foward, she has made history by becoming the ABT company’s first African American female soloist in two decades. Also, she has a great memoir released titled, Life in Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina. She's a history maker and we are proud of her!
