Michaela DePrince as Swan in Coppelia.💭 A thoughtful gift with a sentimental value can go a long way indeed it will show that you notice little detail in their life. 🩰🎨
Please look up Michaela DePrince’s story. She lived in a war torn African nation and witnessed horrible atrocities and watched her family members killed in front of her. She ended up in an orphanage where she was treated so badly and because she has vitiligo she was considered cursed because of her condition. They had a number system in her orphanage and she was the last number and she would be given the last scraps of food which was never enough and she was constantly hungry. One day a tattered magazine flew into the orphanage lot where she played and on the cover was something she’d never seen before. It was a ballerina on point and she instantly became fascinated with wanting to be like the girl on the cover. She didn’t know how but she held onto that magazine and the dream. One day rebels came into the orphanage and killed a pregnant teacher, one who was kind to her in front of her eyes. Shortly after she and her sister were adopted by an American couple who fostered her dancing dreams. She has fought long and hard to become the dancer she is. She’s a magnetic and beautiful dancer and person
Wow. gorgeous. I can just imagine a world where this is what young black women and girls, more specifically DS unambiguous black women and girls would see promoted as their image. Simply mesmerizing.
Just goes to show, black women don't have to artificially enhance themselves in order to look feminine, beautiful and graceful. She's not "slim thick", or wearing a straight wig, or makeup that makes her look lighter skinned. And she's still an undeniable beauty, deserving of love and respect. So think of yourselves that way with AND without the artificial.
It's kind of ironic that you would say this b/c Michaela DePrince has vitiligo, so she may use makeup to keep her skin the same beautiful dark tone all over her body.
@Wheein Here I believe that black women are the peak of their beauty when they are there most natural selves. Of course makeup or surgery can be an enhancement for some (if they into that) but when black women take care of their natural hair and body it just *chef kiss* amazing. I absolutely agree with you and the young lady is stunning 😍.
@@ladydi1079 I said she's not wearing makeup that makes her look lighter skinned. I never said that she was wearing no makeup at all. That's sort of a given when you're doing something performative.
Wow. Why does this make me tear up? I’m 75. I shouldn’t have such a tender heart. But alas, I grew up where I was not allowed to express my affections for the young ladies I was attracted to unless it fit convention. This is very dear. Beautifully done. Pulls the heartstrings. I wrote the above before reading her story. Now it multiplies the poignancy of this lovely video. 💔
This is beautiful... My youngest said "mommy she is beautiful". And that she wants to be a ballerina 💞💞. Then she asked me was it back in the day when they can't be together 😭😭?.I told her honestly " I don't know the story"!. It's just beautiful. So if someone knows what this is about. Let me know so I can let her know please and thank you 💞.
This piece wholeheartedly mesmerises me. It’s love, joy, prayers and adulation of two beautiful souls becoming one in its entirety, this brought many tears to my eyes. Well done, ❤️🙏🏽
Where do you find all this media content from? It's truly amazing. I had no idea there were these gems of black representation out there. It's nice to see ☺
Michaela is honestly the BEST thing since sliced bread and her story is incredible! I have wanted to see her dance for sooo long as I absolutely adore ballet. One day it will happen. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michaela_DePrince
Off the top of my head, some amazing ballerinas are Francesca Hayward (Royal Ballet), Precious Adams (English National Ballet), Misty Copeland and Erica Lall (American Ballet Theatre), and India Bradley (New York City Ballet). Some of my favourite male ballet dancers are Joseph Sissens (Royal Ballet), Osiel Gouneo and Brooklyn Mack. Incredibly talented technicians and amazing performers. I hope you enjoy 🤗
@@wooly-hairedtropicaltype1710 so a woman with one white parent gets to 'identify' as black and be taken seriously? If I as a woman with two black parents were to identify as something other than black, due to mere feelings, would that be okay? There is a huge difference between how one identifies and what one IS biologically.
@@Nutrollio Me too! Searching the audio via Google isn't helping me. It sounds so so like the music used in Kenny and Yvonne's vid, which is Alec Koff's Falling Snow but it's not that. It's deeper and darker, beautifully haunting. It's driving me mad not knowing!
