Misty Copeland attends the American Ballet Theatre June gala and premiere of "Like Water for Chocolate" in New York on June 22, 2023. The first Black woman to be promoted to principal dancer for the American Ballet Theatre in 2015, Copeland says she never takes that opportunity for granted. Her recent work includes being co-founder and designer of a new athletic wear brand, the role of interviewer on a new show called “PBS Arts Talk,” and starting a petition to get more inclusive dance emojis.
