Michaela DePrince would be amazing if she were just a professional ballet dancer at the age of 17. The grace, skill, guts and discipline it takes to perform at the highest levels is a lifetime achievement indeed. But what makes this woman even more amazing is that she was orphaned by war in her home country of Sierra Leon.
DePrince lost both of her parents during the war, and saw ballet as an opportunity to escape the horror she’d experienced so early in her life.
“I was just so fascinated by this person, by how beautiful she was, how she was wearing such a beautiful costume,” she said. “So I ripped the cover off and I put it in my underwear.”
