Misty Copeland - the first Black woman to be promoted to principal dancer at American Ballet Theatre - talks through the challenges of balancing a commitment to ballet with having a life beyond the art form. She says ballet companies question the level of commitment from ballerinas who attempt to have experiences outside of ballet and generally treat their adult dancers like children. Plus, Misty explains why she waited to have a child until later in life and shares the story of how actor Taye Diggs introduced her to her first boyfriend ever - and eventual husband - Olu Evans. The American Ballet Theatre principal dancer goes on to tell us how life has changed as a new mom, as Misty and Olu welcomed their son Jackson to the world earlier this year.
