A trailblazer in the world of ballet decades before Misty Copeland's time, Raven Wilkinson faced overt and casual racism, hostile crowds, and death threats for having the audacity to dance ballet. This book tells the story of two unapologetically Black ballerinas, their friendship, and how they changed each other - and the dance world - forever. Misty celebrates the connection she made with her mentor, the only teacher who could truly understand the obstacles she faced, beyond the technical or artistic demands.
