“The systemic structure made to keep me in place, is the stage I dance on. Black and woman. Motherships my mother’s hips beheld deep space …” begins the words of the Under Armour campaign starring Misty Copeland and Saul Williams. It is beauty personified.

Part of the “Unlike Any” campaign where athletes are paired with spoken word artists, ABT principal ballerina Copeland and poet/actor Williams dazzle in a somber video with twisting camera angles that Copeland dances atop.
