(Misty with her Barbie doll inspired by her Firebird performance)
Some more interesting facts about Misty Copeland are on top of being a world renowned dancer she is a very accomplished author she has written two autobiographical books, a memoir, a children's book, and even a health and fitness guide. And within all of her writing the same message of encouragement and inspiration are held up and pushed to her audience. Misty has also had her time in the entertainment industry, she has been in music videos for Prince, she has hosted tv shows like So You Think You Can Dance, she has been in movies and on Broadway this girl has truly done it all. And my favorite fun fact is that Mattel created her very own Barbie doll back in 2016 and I vividly remember when this came out. I had wanted the doll so badly. It was so beautiful and dressed in her Firebird costume from the ballet and her beautiful brown skin was displayed for everyone to see. It made me so happy to see a person of color who looked like me to have the honor of getting a Barbie doll made of them.
