I had the honor of interviewing Ms Parker on the first stop on her last tour with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.. In the beginning of this interview, she goes over her beginnings of her 20 year dance career. She talks about one of her first injuries , where she had to miss a performance. Akua talks about the need for teaching anatomy, getting accurate pointe shoe fittings, and the way forward to advocate for dancer safety
