I loved the opportunity to sit down with Harper earlier this month. As a gay, African-American ballet dancer, he\\u2019s really making waves. He says in today\'s episode that he\\u2019s really hoping to open doors for the next generation and inspire them to try whatever makes them excited. We talk about his upbringing, coming out to his parents at 14, and working hard to become a star within the world of ballet (and paving his way in the social media space). He also shares his journey, opens up about the fears and hurdles he\\u2019s faced along the way, and how that fear is good and helpful at times. In his opinion if you\\u2019re scared to face something head on  \\u2014 it\\u2019s not something to run from. Instead, remember that fear can be your teacher.
