From celebrated ballerina and New York Timesbestselling author Misty Copeland, a heartfelt memoir about her friendship with trailblazer Raven Wilkinson which captures the importance of mentorship, shared history, and honoring the past to ensure a stronger future. The Wind at My Back tells the story of two unapologetically Black ballerinas, their friendship, and how they changed each other—and the dance world—forever. Misty Copeland shares her own struggles with racism and exclusion in her pursuit of this dream career and honors the women like Raven who paved the way for her but whose contributions have gone unheralded. . #bookstagram #ballet #bookstagrammer #ballerina #bookish #booknerd #books #booklover #booknerd #bookaddict #igbooks #igreads #instabook #instareads #wednesday #igdaily #picoftheday #photooftheday #readersofinstagram #reading #readmorebooks #reader #bookrecommendations #newrelease #instagood #instadaily #bookgram #foryou #tbr (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkMgVGXL6KR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
