Misty recounts falling in love with ballet, being part of a difficult public custody battle, and the challenges of injuries in her early career. She also opens up about the isolation of being the only Black ballerina in the room, –an experience that drives her advocacy and philanthropy today–and how becoming a mother has shaped her life. (And for the Swifties: Misty talks about how performing with the superstar at the American Music Awards was “an incredible experience.”)Be sure to subscribe, leave us a rating, and share with your friends if you liked this episode!She Pivots was created by host Emily Tisch Sussman to highlight women, their stories, and how their pivot became their success.
