This episode of Rewind with Besa is dedicated to all the little black girls that always wanted to be a ballerina, but never thought it was possible because they didn’t see themselves on the big screen or even the big stage. Today, Besa Gordon is joined by Amanda Morgan, Pacific Northwest Ballet ballerina, the first black female soloist.

In this interview, they talked about everything from what sparked Amanda’s interest in wanting to be a professional ballerina all the way over to the misconceptions about being a ballerina.
