Misty Copeland is an American ballet dancer for American Ballet Theatre. On June 30, 2015, Copeland became the first African American woman to be promoted to principal dancer in Theatre's 75-year history. In 2015, Mattel manufactured a doll to her likeness. The doll is part of Barbie's Sheroes program that honors female heroes who break boundaries, a line of toys modeled on other famous women, from Ava DuVernay and Emmy Rossum to Kristin Chenoweth and Eva Chen.
