Michaela DePrince's life exemplified resilience; she transformed her formidable childhood experiences into a remarkable ballet career, inspiring many through her dedication and artistry.
'I lost both my parents, so I was there [the orphanage] for about a year and I wasn't treated very well because I had vitiligo,' DePrince recalled, highlighting the harsh realities of her early life.
'From the very beginning of our story back in Africa, sleeping on a shared mat in the orphanage, Michaela (Mabinty) and I used to make up our own musical theater plays,' said her sister, underscoring the creative bond shared despite adversity.
Her unwavering commitment to her art, her humanitarian efforts, and her courage in overcoming unimaginable challenges will forever inspire us, her spokesperson shared after her passing.
