Conversations with Megan, featuring LaJeromeny Brown

I am so excited to introduce LaJeromeny, one of our newest corps members at New York City Ballet. He no doubt has a bright future ahead of him, and you will agree after you listen to this amazing interview. We talk about how he started ballet at 12, learned to embrace his roots, how he overcame anxiety upon entering the company, and his amazing entrepreneurial ideas for the future. This is an interview not to miss!!! LJ is wiser than his years, and I am so grateful to him for being so open and sharing his INCREDIBLE story with everyone.

So powerful. Thank you La Jeromeny and Megan. I love this series and its power to humanize dancers to the public eye. Keep dreaming people.

What a fantastically inspiring and well-spoken young man. And Megan, you conduct such great interviews--you let your subjects speak freely but also know the right time to tell the audience a little about yourself as well. I've been enjoying all of these so much!

wow i am halfway in and i loooove this episode he has a fascinating story, he is so vibrant and positive just with the age of 19!! He has big things coming for sure

[@larisafernandezreyes1101]

His ability to be so resilient in life is admirable and inspirational. I look forward to watching him on stage in the future.

[@David-pt8ge]

I look forward to watching later after work. These videos have been so interesting and fun. I have been at home, largely alone apart from a couple of weeks and it is really hard. Especially when the things that you love, live dance, opera and theatre have been taken away from you. Thank you, Ms Fairchild.

What an incredible young man! He's come so far from difficult beginnings. I wish only the best and brightest future for him! Thank you, Megan, for sharing his amazing story with us!

I think these interviews provide a great insight to the dancers at NYCB. Showing that the dancers (particularly of this period) of the company are just as varied and individualistic as the city they represent!

[@skmorr0]

What a wonderful, insightful, and delightful human being. Looking forward to following your career and rooting you on, LJ. Thanks so much for this interview, Megan.

[@TheHowitgoes]

Holy cow, he is an incredible young man!

[@E-Beth]

These interviews are so full of life! Still loving them and all that you share and bring out in others. I loved hearing about meditation from both of you. Thank you for continuing to do these! I’ll be back for every one!

I knew I would like this interview, and I definitely was not disappointed! LaJeromeny is incredible to say the least. He has faced a lot of obstacles and has gone above and beyond, and every time I see him on the stage, I will think about that. It means so much more to know where someone has come from. Thank you Megan for these insightful interviews with stars, up and comings, and behind the scenes stars, it is enjoyed immensely 💕

[@ceceward2947]

Thank u. It touches my heart to see people speak so highly of my son

[@cat56789]

I love that he has so many dreams and he's gonna achieve all of them💜

[@pamelacrawford4105]

He’s such an amazing young man. Can’t wait to see him achieve his dreams.

[@ruthdavidson-schaller2245]

Great spirit! He’s so honest and open. What a great interview.

[@raquelcolon5785]

what a lovely young man. I hope his career takes off. The ballet is in such dire need of diversity. And he is so articulate for a 19 year old.......Megan you are getting so good at this. I could see you doing this full time once you are done dancing. When are you. interviewing Wendy W.????????

[@catherinehastings2063]

About herself!

[@raquelcolon5785]

Catherine Hastings EXACTLY. . Wendy was the first ballerina I saw on stage; when I fell in love right there and then. I would put Wendy up there with Margo Fonteyn as one of the best ever!!!

[@LChonie]

This was so amazing to watch, he’s so inspiring!! Thanks so much for another great interview. This kid is going places!

[@Starlicious1386]

He is amazing! I can't wait to see his career progress. What an inspiration. Great interview!

[@cat56789]

He's so wise for 19!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤

[@elizabeth-ty3he]

So inspiring! Shout out to Anna Baker at BT for facilitating this amazing artist.

[@elizabethbuchholz8716]

I love all these videos with dancers from Alabama & Tennessee because I’m from north Alabama and you don’t really hear of people from this area making it in big companies.

[@bettymaines6305]

All the success in the world to an incredible young man.

[@cat56789]

Hope he gets promoted to soloist then principal one day he deserves it 💜

[@supersunshineglasses]

I love him!!!

[@deborahmielke620]

Goodness how inspiring!!✨✨✨✨

[@WeirdLittleDreams]

Does everyone see the early vision of his fashion label that hasn't been launched yet?

[@WeirdLittleDreams]

And a quick search on IG reveals that he actually is working on a fashion brand. For all of the fans watching go check out @lajeromeny on IG.
