Michaela's passion for ballet was discovered as a war orphan in Sierra Leone when she saw a ballet dancer on the front of a magazine. This gave her hope for a better life and after being adopted by American parents her dream was made a reality. As one of the only professional black ballet dancers, she is fighting for change so that more young black women are inspired to follow in her footsteps.
