Famed ballerina Misty Copeland looks back on her poverty-stricken childhood, as her mom applied for food stamps and they were living in a “dingy” motel. Misty says her mom could no longer support her passion for ballet, until Misty’s ballet teacher invited the dancer to live with her and her family, in an effort to continue dancing. Three years later, this household change came to a head as Misty filed for emancipation from her mom, out of a panic to continue training. It led to a court hearing that garnered national headlines, and a life-changing legal battle that took Misty a decade before she could bear to rehash.
