Description

Misty Copeland began ballet lessons at 13. A prodigy, she was dancing en pointe just three months later, all while her family faced housing insecurity. In 2015, the trailblazing ballerina became the first African American woman to become a principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre. CNBC Senior Media & Tech Correspondent Julia Boorstin spoke with Copeland at the CNBC Changemakers Summit. She discusses her illustrious career, overcoming adversity and her mission to make the dance community more inclusive for all. CNBCevents.com
