Misty Copeland: Building a Lasting Legacy On (and Off) the Stage
Podcast: She PivotsPublished On: Wed Jan 24 2024
Description: For our Season 3 premiere of She Pivots, host Emily Tisch Sussman sits down with Misty Copeland—principal ballerina with American Ballet Theater, mother, designer, author, and philanthropist. Misty recounts falling in love with ballet, being part of a difficult public custody battle, and the challenges of injuries in her early career. She also opens up about the isolation of being the only Black ballerina in the room, –an experience that drives her advocacy and philanthropy today–and how becoming a mother has shaped her life. (And for the Swifties: Misty talks about how performing with the superstar at the American Music Awards was “an incredible experience.”) Be sure to subscribe, leave us a rating, and share with your friends if you liked this episode!
