Misty Copeland in “Amazing Grace” by Will Davidson for Teen Vogue March 2014

"I still worry, far more than I should, about what the ballet world thinks of me—whether I will ever be accepted and seen as a well-rounded artist deserving of respect. Or will I forever be "the black ballerina," an oddity who doesn’t quite compare? But in my moments of clarity I envision all the people whose lives have been touched by my story, who upon seeing my journey know that you can start late, look different, be uncertain, and still succeed.

"I’ve come so far from the first ballet class I took at age 13 in my baggy gym clothes at the Boys & Girls Club. I know that by being here now, in this rarefied, difficult, elitist, beautiful world, I have made my mark on history and ballet. I will forever fight, performing like it’s my last show. And I will love every minute of it."
