The world lost a bright and powerful light with the passing of trailblazing ballerina Michaela DePrince at the age of 29. Her life, though tragically cut short, was one marked by resilience, grace and an indomitable spirit. From a childhood overshadowed by the horrors of war in Sierra Leone to the grand stages of international ballet, Michaela shattered barriers and defied expectations at every turn.
Her story of resilience will continue to inspire us all that the barriers we face can be overcome and that even in the face of hardship, we can soar.
