Misty Copeland Instagram – As we say goodbye to Black History Month and hello to Women’s History Month, I’d like to honor my mentor, Raven Wilkinson, the first African American woman to dance for a major classical ballet company. She opened doors for me and so many others to have opportunities she couldn’t even dream were possible. She not only became my mentor and friend but the inspiration for my most recent book ‘The Wind at My Back,’ linked in my bio! c/o: @the.root
