No matter what that dream is, you have the power to make it come true with hard work and dedication, despite what you look like or struggle with.Praise for FIREBIRD: Amazon Best Book of the Month, September 2014 "The language soars into dizzying heights of lyrical fancy… Myers' artwork. To feel that they have no limits, just endless dreams that are reachable. My hopes are that people will feel empowered to be whatever they want to be. They too can find their voice, their wings, their missing piece. This book is bringing my existence, and nonexistence as a young girl, to life, showing other girls and boys that they're not alone. Raven Wilkinson, African American ballerina with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, and other amazing women took my hand and led me. I want to expand the idea of beauty and art. I saw an image of what a ballerina should be, and she wasn't me, brown with tendrils sweeping her face. That instrument is you and me.īut when I opened up ballet books, I didn't see myself. That instrument is your body, soul and heart. That instrument comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. The beauty of dance is being a part of something that is all you, from creation to performance. When I was introduced to ballet, it was like finding the missing piece to my puzzle. My discovery of movement became my saving grace. Not even at home surrounded by my family. Quiet, scared, unique, yet alive and vibrant.
I was once a little girl searching for my voice.
