American Ballet Theatre’s first Black principal ballerina Misty Copeland arrived at her Guideposts February 2016 cover shoot back in November 2015 like a bright light. Five minutes early and ready to work, Misty greeted every staffer at the Chelsea, New York City studio with a wide and gracious smile. While her small hair and make-up team prepped her for the shoot, she shared with me her odds-defying journey to the top of the professional ballet world.
