    Misty is a wonderful interview. I hope that her return to performing is very successful.

    Has the BBC lost the news again or just thrown it away?

      Agreed. The interviewer should not have asked an ballerina of Misty’s stature to perform a ballet move then comment on her on past experience as 14 year old! Jeez!

      Why would that be newsworthy for a British audience?

    I will always respect and be thankful, to Misty Copeland, for disproving the negative stereotypes of Black Woman. Black Women can, be graceful ,feminine, and Beautiful.

    • @kiaaurora
      @kiaaurora Před 7 měsíci

      @CLNPG She’s not disproving anything. She’s a horrible ballet dancer that should have never gotten the title of prima. If she were white she’d be stuck in corps de ballet. The only thing that promoting her prima did was to send message that black women can’t dance classical ballet and we just need to accept them for inclusion and diversity. She damaged the reputation of black women

    BBC- please stop trying to get amazing women to focus on the negative - like our bodies. How many times do you have to mention that? “How are you coping” with the fact that did not ask her one positive, uplifting, inspiring question? L

      I was wondering the same thing and I'm american. And I'm sorry to say it, but Misty Copeland was not even the best dancer. She was more of a PR move. She's a lovely lady don't get me wrong beautiful lovely lady, but this is all ridiculous
