Cultivating H.E.R. Space: Uplifting Conversations for the Black Woman

S27E11: The Dance of Courage: Misty Copeland on Legacy, Motherhood & New Beginnings


Listen Later

Hey lady! This week Dr. Dom and Terri are thrilled to welcome a legend who needs no introduction. Misty Copeland is known around the world as not only as a trailblazer and groundbreaking ballet dancer, most notably as the first African American female Principal Dancer with the prestigious American Ballet Theater, but also philanthropist, author, and mother. She joins Terri and Dr. Dom to discuss her upcoming final bow with the theater after a storied career and her plans for her exciting next chapter.

Copeland’s introducing the latest installment of her Bunheads, Act 2: the Dance of Courage, a picture book series offering a realistic and fun view of dance life. The series’ characters embark on wonderous tales of adventure and this latest addition to the series follows them as they learn about the glorious tale of Don Quixote. By the end of the episode you’ll want to grab a copy for the young dancers in your life.

And, lady, Misty gives us a peek into her life that you can only catch on Patreon. Girl, are you on Patreon yet? It’s our special area where we dive deeper and give behind the scenes of how we create this podcast and other cool things you won’t want to miss. Join us! 

Quote of the Day:
"I'll always be committed to opening doors, creating space, and making ballet a place where everyone belongs." 
– Misty Copeland
