Misty Copeland: "Representing Black Women in Beauty Means So Much to Me"

"[I wear perfume] even in rehearsal! There's just something about it that makes me feel like I'm completing this character and making it feel like I'm ready to go out there and be glamorous and perform. It's kind of all part of putting on the costume, the makeup, the tiara, a wig, or a dress. I've never had any complaints from my partners yet, which is good. No one is getting nauseous! My husband is like 'WHY' because I don't like to do a little bit [on my wrists], I like it all over."
