Be inspired. This was such a quick and easy, but extremely emotional read. In this memoir Michaela details her experiences as a young child in Sierrra Leonne, the adoption that brought her to America and her passion for dancing. She is now a professional ballerina and it is amazing to see the woman she has become. #ballet #ballerina #blackballerina #love #beinspired
