00:00I don't feel like I try and hold on to the weight of that word, you know, being the first.
00:04I think it's about having a dialogue and a conversation that's going to make change.
00:10And I think by using the platform I have through American Ballet Theater,
00:14it has allowed me to kind of go back and reach into that community that I came from
00:21and give those dancers of color, children of color, an opportunity to be part of an art form like classical ballet
00:28because it's completely changed my life.
00:30It's taught me so much.
00:32It's made me the woman that I am.
00:34It's taught me about taking care of my body and nutrition.
00:36And so it just feels like everything has come full circle.
00:39And I just try and, you know, through every platform I have, bring a positive message.
