Take advantage of the resources around you and the relationships you build!

When you see the body outside of a costume and see the strength that it takes, people would look at dance a different way and see how athletic it is. You're not just born like that.

But I think the more you eat healthy clean foods the more you create them.

I think that I'm so fortunate to have found classical ballet. It completely changed my life and it shaped the person that I am today, on and off the stage.

The path to your success is not as fixed and inflexible as you think.

I absolutely love what I do, and I want to dance for as long as I can and feel good about what I am putting out there on the stage.

I've gotten nothing but warmth from the Black community and positive feedback.
