michaela mabinty deprince (1995-2024)
🩰˚✧₊⁎
today, september 13th, 2024, the ballet world lost an extraordinary dancer and woman.
michaela mabinty deprince was born on january 6th, 1995, as mabinty bangura, in sierra-leone. she was orphaned, her parents passing to due to both direct and indirect causes of the civil war in her home country. she was demonized by her caretakers for her vitiligo, being called a “devil’s child”, and suffering from other forms of neglect and abuse. in 1999, deprince was adopted by an american couple along with another girl, and they were taken to new jersey, united states of america.
her hopes of becoming a ballerina had been planted when she found a ballerina on a magazine cover in her home country. she didn’t know of ballet at the time, but treasured the picture and dreamed of dancing. this dream blossomed into truth when she moved to the states, being put into ballet lessons soon after her arrival. deprince was a four-time participant in youth america grand prix, one of the largest ballet competitions in the united states. she was awarded a scholarship to study at the jaqueline kennedy onassis school of ballet, the associate school of american ballet theatre.
despite facing racial discrimination and other hardships in and out of the industry, deprince persisted in her dream of becoming a professional ballet dancer. in 2012, at the age of 16, she became the youngest member of dance theatre of harlem, and the next year, she joined the junior company of the dutch national ballet. she soon rose through the ranks, joining the main company and attaining the rank of soloist. she was the first dancer of african origin to ever join the company, and a shining advocate and role model for black women in ballet.
her other accomplishments include being an ambassador for war child holland, a dutch organization working to improve the wellbeing and resilience of children directly affected by war. she visited uganda and lebanon through the organization. she also appeared in beyoncé’s 2016 music video for ‘freedom’.
she will dance among all the stars in the sky. rest in peace beautiful michaela mabinty, you are already so missed. ♡
We lost an incredible dancer today. Rest in peace Michaela DePrince
People who are able to write multichaptered fics and not get sick of your own idea or spoil everything in chapter 1 or lose motivation or forget about it, teach me your secrets
I'll just leave these here... they're not really secrets
Outline with some wiggle room. Room for details, room to add, and room to reorder.
Make a running gag like an inside joke for yourself that you want to keep up (it can be something small and insignificant or crucial to a subplot just as long as you like it. And you can always edit it out later if you want)
Write in whatever order you want! Linear writing isn't always the best. Heck if creating art was linear your favorite movies, shows, and series would take forever to make (and sometimes they take forever as is)
As for not spoiling—screw that! Drop some hints, foreshadowing is beautiful. You can know the ending by chapter 1 as long as the rest of the story holds people's attention
Plot twists shouldn't change the ending or come out of left field. It's more fun to facepalm and question how you missed the signs as a reader than be thrown for a loop
Get through a few chapters before posting anything. Sometimes a fic just doesn't want to work with you and you might have to abandon it. Save the ideas, you can reuse them in a different story.
The notes on your phone can be useful to jot down ideas on the go. A notebook and pen work too but it's not as organized
Expand on your au. Characters don't have to share all their back stories in the fic. Think up a few misadventures, get invested in the world you have planned. Stretch beyond the plot. Go deeper into who you're writing. You don't have to share everything
World building is your friend. Make up rules, history, animals and plants, legends and myths (not the best for realistic works) Knowing the au world well and getting into it helps a lot with keeping interested
Beta readers and friends to bounce ideas off of are miracles. The best motivators out there.
I need this.

You're the brave man? I am. But maybe you can call me dad.
the fact that they don’t give her the screentime she deserves makes me so sad
Okay. Thank you.
