Misty Copeland, The Wind at My Back recap

so important that I again I share these stories of those who came before me because I wouldn't be possible and I wouldn't be here without their efforts and without uh every every little you know bit of the door that they crack open a little more for me to be able to be here and so all of all of her efforts all of the efforts of the dancers that have come before me are why I'm in this position and why I have this opportunity and that's the power of of dance and storytelling through movement is that you can trans transform and and convince an audience that you are a swan and that's why it doesn't matter what color you are or what your body type is or where you're from you know you're becoming a character and you're telling a story and you're giving the audience Joy it's so nice to meet you thank you [Applause]
