Our journey as black dancers wouldn’t be what it is if skin color were irrelevant. It wouldn’t have taken til 2019 for Charlotte to be the first. Until u’ve fought our fight and walked in our shoes, it’s disrespectful and devastating to hear a flippant comment like this.
You will never get it. Our message isn’t for you. Go to the ballet and enjoy who you like. Support your president and be happy. We are striving for equality. Life is amazing. Do you. ❤️
My heart and soul are so full ❤️This is just the beginning. We need to keep this engagement growing, beyond me. My dedication, to bringing more deversity to the ballet world, will never end.
😱😱😱 My 8 year old self could have never imagined that my idol and mentor would ever even know I existed. Let alone acknowledge me in this beautiful way. For my true and genuine respect for her songwriting and vocal talent. ❤️❤️😍😍
Dear Misty, thank you so much for acknowledging the lyrics and the songs that I've written throughout the years for those of us who needed to hear them to feel encouraged, myself included. Your achievements are so incredibly inspiring to me and millions around the world...
