Misty Copeland Instagram – My mentor Raven Wilkinson was the first African American woman to dance for a major classical ballet company. ❤️🩰 She was filled with endless knowledge and wisdom that she passed along to me throughout my career. Now I’m passing her advice onto you! Advocating for your self (no matter what industry you’re in) is crucial to your growth and autonomy. Let me know what you think! I wrote about Raven’s story and our time together in my book ‘The Wind at My Back’, you can find it at the link in my bio! 📚
