True talk, I met her in person about a week ago. She was talking about her book that just came out. She's very thin in person, petite and VERY proper. Not a hit of ratchetness on her and she's well spoken.

But she is EXTREMELY beautiful in person and I guarantee every breh on this board would simp on her. A lot of nikkas on here talk about wifing chicks in look alone and this is a legit case of that.

They simply don't make sistas like her in a regular basis and I think she's setting a good example for little girls in the hood who may not think that they can get to her level.

With that said, I'd impregnate on aight if I ever got to see her again.

I would lit her sit on my face for as long as it took her to read the entire Song of Ice And Fire series.

I seen a picture with her and her dude on another message board. Some balheaded dude. Ironcally, its Taye Diggs cousin and it was him who introduced them.

But Olu told me that I had to approach things in a different way, that I couldn’t just feel sorry for myself: I had to fight. There’s an old adage in the black community that we have to be 10 times better just to get as much. I took that to heart. I had to be undeniably excellent. But I also had to let ABT know what I was after.


:blessed:

Misty Copeland & Brooklyn Mack to Make Historic Debut in Swan Lake
For the first time in dance history, a major company will perform the ballet “Swan Lake” with two African-American lead dancers — Misty Copeland will take on the lead as Odette/Odile, while her love interest, Prince Siegfried, will be danced by the Washington Ballet Theatre’s Brooklyn Mack. The two will effectively shatter the all-white stereotype of “Swan Lake,” the most traditional of ballets.

Black dancers have been rare in leading ballet roles with major companies, especially in classical works such as “Swan Lake,” in which the star is traditionally white and waiflike.

Copeland said in a statement: “It certainly goes against traditional casting. I am so pleased to have the opportunity to show that African American ballerinas can also conform to the traditional vision for a swan as feminine and sylph-like while also being artistically and physically powerful.”

Septime Webre, artistic director of the Washington Ballet, called the event history in the making, and said that it challenges the paradigms about how principal dancers in classical roles should look.

“The ballet world has had a history of a glass ceiling of sorts for African-American male dancers to a degree but certainly ballerinas,” said Webre. “So it’s been exciting to question the notion of what Swan Lake should be about!”

The Washington Ballet production of “Swan Lake” debuts in April 2015.
