michaela mabinty deprince (1995-2024)

today, september 13th, 2024, the ballet world lost an extraordinary dancer and woman.

michaela mabinty deprince was born on january 6th, 1995, as mabinty bangura, in sierra-leone. she was orphaned, her parents passing to due to both direct and indirect causes of the civil war in her home country. she was demonized by her caretakers for her vitiligo, being called a “devil’s child”, and suffering from other forms of neglect and abuse. in 1999, deprince was adopted by an american couple along with another girl, and they were taken to new jersey, united states of america.

her hopes of becoming a ballerina had been planted when she found a ballerina on a magazine cover in her home country. she didn’t know of ballet at the time, but treasured the picture and dreamed of dancing. this dream blossomed into truth when she moved to the states, being put into ballet lessons soon after her arrival. deprince was a four-time participant in youth america grand prix, one of the largest ballet competitions in the united states. she was awarded a scholarship to study at the jaqueline kennedy onassis school of ballet, the associate school of american ballet theatre.

despite facing racial discrimination and other hardships in and out of the industry, deprince persisted in her dream of becoming a professional ballet dancer. in 2012, at the age of 16, she became the youngest member of dance theatre of harlem, and the next year, she joined the junior company of the dutch national ballet. she soon rose through the ranks, joining the main company and attaining the rank of soloist. she was the first dancer of african origin to ever join the company, and a shining advocate and role model for black women in ballet.

her other accomplishments include being an ambassador for war child holland, a dutch organization working to improve the wellbeing and resilience of children directly affected by war. she visited uganda and lebanon through the organization. she also appeared in beyoncé’s 2016 music video for ‘freedom’.

she will dance among all the stars in the sky. rest in peace beautiful michaela mabinty, you are already so missed. ♡

Uncreative ahh response, also are you actively beefing with minors on tumblr over rockman? 😭 I'm genuinely curious why his behavior is such a big deal to you

@temporaryhq

alright tiktokians who moved here, imma lay some ground rules.

one, this is my house, I can't do anything about the furniture.

two, you aren't actually forced to reblog. yes, it's like reposting. no, just because people tell you to reblog, you don't have to. yes, it's very nice if you reblog art, because sometimes people do that for a job.

three, tag your shit

four, you can cuss. you can say kill. you can say suicide.

five, you can be horny. I don't wanna see that shit. tag it properly.

six, no tagging inappropriately because I will run you over with my car.

seven, yes you can comment! No one uses these most times.

eight, you gotta build up your timeline baby girl, this ain't TikTok.

nine, yes you can privately reblog if you're embarrassed

and finally. Ten, there is nothing I can do about the hornbots.

My engineering teacher just called me out in class for having a super neat signature and I've never felt so genuinely amazing about a compliment I think.

Idk, why 🤨📸 /j

I'm never going on Twitter again Searchman I'm so sorry they've done this to you

😨

My friend is making me wear these all day because I was willingly doing math homework in a non math related class

not my usual stuff but remember:

if/when tiktok comes back,

it is not the same place. it is not the same. and most importantly do NOT under any circumstances forget that The Tangerine was the one who wanted it banned in the first place and he is no savior, he, like everyone else in government, is doing what benefits him.

DO NOT FORGET THIS.

pick up the patterns, look at history.
