    She's a fabulous ballerina, top tier, regardless of her race or skin color. I'm very happy though that SF ballet was able to hire her and I hope she thrives there.

    Her farther is Jamaican, her mother is Swedish. Polotical correctbess at the point(e). She had said that it is rare ti call her black because she has a lightet skin than oeople who identify them selves as black. But I an so happy and proud as a Swede that Nikisha is a principal in San Francisco ballet. I love her as a dancer and I know a frienf of her. They studied ballet together in London. LOVE to Nikisha!!! 💖💖💖

      As a black dancer who only ever sees White Ballet dancers in big productions and in an industry with a history of racism…I CARE ABOUT RACE. Now i know that I as a black person am allowed to like this kind of thing after literally feeling excluded from it because so many people told me black women cant do Ballet because it’s a White thing and only white girls can be Ballet dancers😐
