Ballet Legend Misty Copeland on Perseverance and Dreaming Big

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.
