About this listen

Renowned American ballet dancer Misty Copeland opens up about the instability she faced in her childhood, and how her natural athleticism and incredible discipline led her to shine as a dance prodigy in her teens. She talks about the evolution of her relationship to food and nutrition, from growing up in various kitchens to eating like an athlete.
