On This Day in New York City History February 2, 1935: Dancer Anne Raven Wilkinson (February 2, 1935 – December 17, 2018) was born in New York City, New York. Wilkinson has the distinction of being the first African-American woman to dance for a major classical ballet company.

Wilkinson was born into a middle class black family in Harlem. Her father was a medical doctor and her mother a ballet dancer. Her love for ballet was born from watching a performance of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, a dance group that she would make history with.

Wilkinson would face difficulties in getting accepted to the Ballet Russe de Monter Carlo. Twice she was rejected before she was accepted at the age of 20 in 1955 by the director of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, Serge Denham.

After leaving the group in the early 1960, Wilkinson would dance with a number row groups before retiring in 1974. That would be a short lived retirement. In the same year Wilkinson would join the New York City Opera and dance for them until 1985. In her later years she would serve as mentor to Misty Copeland who was a trailblazer in her own right. Copeland was the first African American to become a principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre.

Wilkinson passed away on December 17, 2018 at the age of 83.

Episodic Ficlet #24 (Alternate): Safe

“It’s Gabrielle who performed the miracle. …Din’cha?”

Grandmother? Uncle Meropes? Dazed orbs sought the faces of her loved ones with whom she had just reunited. The young bard gasped at what she saw instead. Xena’s looking at me with such love in her eyes. She’s even tearing up. No! Gabrielle mourned when the warrior princess pulled back from kissing her on the forehead. I don’t want this dream to end. A stuttered breath later, the girl panicked. Unless Xena’s dead too! Th-the temple!

Those strong arms cinched tighter around in her limp frame. “Ssh,” that voice soothed her. “It’s alright, precious. You’re safe. You’re safe now; I promise!”

“...Xena?”

“Yes, lovey?” Her voice catching on the endearment, the woman still laughed beneath watery eyes.

Gabrielle knew then she was still on the other side.

Or maybe not. The center of her chest began to ache terribly.

“I-it hurts,” she whispered. She soon passed out, for Xena immediately parted her top and kissed the forming bruise there.

“I’m so sorry, sweetheart.”

It had to be a dream.

#

“I love you.”

Elven ears perked up, and Gabrielle let herself grin. “I know,” she told her dream lover.

“Oh, ya do, do ya? I guess I don’t have to say it anymore then.”

Green-blue eyes shot open at that warm, teasing tone. Her hand rose to ensnare itself in the long, raven locks spilling into her face but found itself full of another hand. She’s even still holding me, the bard mused, utterly amazed.

“How-” Xena’s voice broke again. “How’re you feelin’, hon- huh?”

“Safe,” the bard murmured as she snuggled even closer to her hero.

#

For the next few days, Gabrielle would not wake without dark hair in her eyes, warm breath tickling her temple, and powerful hands cradling her in some way.

We’ll have to come through this forest more often, she thought to herself with a soft but naughty grin. Then she would whine or whimper, and Xena would instantly spring to attention to wait on her hand and foot. Definitely challenge the warrior princess to stop a war at least once a season from here on out.

A pointed poke in the nose and huff told her to not even try it.

But Gabrielle knew that she would.

.

Woo! 300th post! I debated writing this bit, figured it’d be a better conclusion to the season, and so went ahead and did it. Sue me. 😛 But yay! So much is complete now!

Season 1 FFLMs: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 #16 #17 #18 #19 #20 #21 #22 #23 #24 + MFLMs: #1 #2

Season 2 FFLMs: #25 #26 #27 #28 #29 #30 #31 #32 #33 #34 #35 + MFLM: #3

Episodic Ficlets: #1 #1 (Truncated) #2 #3 #4 #4 (Alternate) #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 #16 #17 #18 #19 #20 #21 #22 #23 #24 + full Google Doc

Also, Adrienne Wilkinson is working with me on getting my first novel ready for publication. COOOOOOL!!! She’s seriously the best, y’all. Also-also, another Xenite helped me download all the Rift Arc episodes in HD. Now I can redo the images for a bunch of my posts! Yaaaaay! Which one should I do first? Lemme know! And celebrate this milestone with me, if you will! Thanks!

*Oh yeah. 375 words. Ahem.

anyone who says only one era of dr who is misogynistic is selling something: by the numbers

series 1: 0 female writers or directors

series 2: 0 female writers or directors

series 3: 1 female writer (helen raynor, "daleks in manhattan/evolution of the daleks"), 1 female director (hettie macdonald, "blink")

series 4: 1 female writer (helen raynor again, "the sontaran stratagem/the poison sky"), 1 female director (alice troughton, "the doctor's daughter," "midnight")

no specials written or directed by women.

total: 1 female writer across 4 episodes, 2 female directors across 3 episodes, out of 4 seasons (60 episodes and specials)

series 5: 0 female writers, 1 female director (catherine morshead, "amy's choice," "the lodger")

series 6: 0 female writers or directors

series 7: 0 female writers or directors

series 8: 0 female writers, 2 female directors (sheree folkson, "in the forests of the night"; rachel talalay, "dark water/death in heaven")

series 9: 2 female writers (catherine tregenna, "the woman who lived"; sarah dollard, "face the raven"), 2 female directors (hettie macdonald, "the magician's apprentice/the witch's familiar", rachel talalay again, "heaven sent/hell bent")

series 10: 2 female writers (sarah dollard again, "thin ice"; rona munro, "eaters of light"), 1 female director (rachel talalay back at it again, "world enough and time/the doctor falls")

1 special directed by a woman ("twice upon a time," rachel talalay again).

total: 3 female writers across 4 episodes, 4 female directors across 12 episodes, out of 6 seasons (84 episodes and specials)

series 11: 2 female writers (malorie blackman, co-writing with chris chibnall on "rosa"; joy wilkinson, "the witchfinders"), 2 female directors (sallie aprahamian, "arachnids in the uk," "the witchfinders"; jennifer perrott, "the tsuranga conundrum," "kerblam!")

series 12: 3 female writers (nina metivier, "nikola tesla's night of terror"; charlene james, co-writing with chris chibnall on "can you hear me?"; maxine alderton, "the haunting of villa diodati"), 2 female directors (nida manzoor, "nikola tesla's night of terror," "fugitive of the judoon"; emma sullivan ("can you hear me?" "the haunting of villa diodati")

series 13: 1 female writer (maxine alderton again, co-writing with chris chibnall on "village of the angels"), 0 female directors

1 special co-written by a woman ("legend of the sea devils," ella road with chris chibnall). 2 specials directed by women ("eve of the daleks," annetta laufer; "legend of the sea devils," haolu wang).

total: 6 female writers or co-writers across 7 episodes, 6 female directors across 10 episodes, out of 3 seasons (31 episodes and specials)

i did all this basic math just so that i would know, for my own personal databanks, but since it's done i may as well post it. just some food for thought. chibnall's era is the only one where the numbers or percentages increase anything like significantly, and even so, i don't think anyone wins here.

if you were to run this for writers and directors of color, it would also very quickly become depressing.

Anne Raven Wilkinson (February 2, 1935 – December 17, 2018) In August 1955 she became the first African American woman to receive a contract to dance full-time with a major ballet company, the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo of New York City. She was promoted to soloist during her second season with the troupe and remained with the company for six years. She was born in New York City to Anne James Wilkinson and Dr. Frost Bernie Wilkinson, a dentist. She had been a fan of ballet since the age of five. On her ninth birthday, an uncle gave her the gift of ballet lessons at the Swoboda School where she studied under the direction of well-known dancers from Russia’s Bolshoi Theatre. She later transferred to the Professional Children’s School in the Bronx where she continued her training, remaining there through her last two years of high school. She first auditioned for a position with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo in 1954. Twice she was rejected but she persevered. On her third try, Sergei Denham, the company’s director, informed her that she would be accepted into the Company. She was asked not to publicize her race, she often had to wear white makeup onstage to conceal her racial identity. In 1957, the owner of a hotel in Atlanta asked if she was black, she refused to lie, and she was barred from staying at the hotel with the rest of the company. Two members of the Ku Klux Klan bolted on stage, interrupting a performance in Montgomery, asking “Where’s the nigra?” When none of the Company members responded to them, the men left. As word of her racial identity became known, she was not allowed to participate in performances in southern cities partly to ensure her safety. In 1961, she left the Ballet Russe Company and was never hired by another American ballet company again. She joined a convent in Font de Lac, Wisconsin. She got a soloist contract with the Dutch National Ballet, where she stayed for seven years. In 1973, she returned to the US where, between 1974 and 1985, she performed with the New York City Opera as an extra dancer. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CoKVPgJrshO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just read the blurb and check out that stunning cover, and it’s no wonder people have been mesmerized by @mistyonpointe and her incredible strength for years. . From celebrated ballerina and New York Timesbestselling author Misty Copeland, a heartfelt memoir about her friendship with trailblazer Raven Wilkinson which captures the importance of mentorship, shared history, and honoring the past to ensure a stronger future. The Wind at My Back tells the story of two unapologetically Black ballerinas, their friendship, and how they changed each other—and the dance world—forever. Misty Copeland shares her own struggles with racism and exclusion in her pursuit of this dream career and honors the women like Raven who paved the way for her but whose contributions have gone unheralded. . #bookstagram #ballet #bookstagrammer #ballerina #bookish #booknerd #books #booklover #booknerd #bookaddict #igbooks #igreads #instabook #instareads #wednesday #igdaily #picoftheday #photooftheday #readersofinstagram #reading #readmorebooks #reader #bookrecommendations #newrelease #instagood #instadaily #bookgram #foryou #tbr (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkMgVGXL6KR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

_________________________________

Total Reading Goal: 50

Just to be kind to my future self when she looks at this at the end of the year: remember that we were pregnant, had a baby, had to look for a new job, and had to move. We just didn't have time. Maybe we will next year.

Also I will admit I've been binge reading some of Tiffany Roberts' work here and there.

_________________________________

Ok this year's reading challenge was completely and utterly slashed. I got overly enthusiastic and just went all over the place. I enjoyed reading when I could, especially after having a baby. February through May was difficult for me as I was in a lot of pain and just wanted to sleep on the last few months of pregnancy. I cried a lot. After I gave birth, reading helped me slowly heal my new found scattered and tired mom brain. I started off slow and after August when I started working again, I came back with a vengeance.

_________________________________

Favorites:

* it was good

** loved it

*** would read again and again

**** Can't stop thinking about it, won't stop thinking about it

Not a fan: X
