January and February were a bit of a blur for me. I started off the year with a live broadcast in Times Square for the ball drop. From there, it was off to Jamaica, Florida and Los Angeles to cover my third consecutive GRAMMY Awards.

The following weekend – we’re at Valentine’s Day now – I found myself back in New York City for NBA All-Star Weekend. Festivities were split between the Barclays Center (All-Star Saturday including the Slam Dunk Contest and 3-Point Shootout) and Madison Square Garden (Sunday’s All-Star Game). But of course, this is the Big Apple, so parties and events were taking pace throughout the five boroughs.

Our All-Star Saturday started in Times Square, where I covered a charity event that Dwyane Wade was holding in conjunction with the Sandals Foundation – the charity arm of the famed Sandals Resorts. After a quick trip back to my apartment uptown for a workout, shower and dinner – I hopped on the train and made the trek down to Brooklyn. Spike Lee was holding an event at an art gallery not far from Barclays Center, and I was invited to cover its red carpet.

From a content perspective, the soiree was a brick. But from a cultural and educational scope, it was a slam dunk. I met many personalities, including Spike (who I had just interviewed at The GRAMMYs and actually recognized me; surreal moment) along with some of the stars of his film “Da Sweet Blood of Jesus.”

I also took a different approach to this red carpet: I decided that I would agree to interview anyone that the publicist asked me to speak with. I normally don’t do this but I decided that while I might not recognize the name of every person there, because it was a Spike event the people would all be at least interesting. And they were, tenfold.

Fast forward to last week – I sign on Twitter and see that Misty Copeland is trending. The ballerina became was named the American Ballet Theater’s principal dancer: the first female African American to hold this title in the organization’s 75 year history. The name sounded so familiar to me.

Because thankfully, I agreed to interview her at Spike’s event. She couldn’t have more graceful in speaking with me; some random radio DJ that has never even been to a ballet. I was able to connect the dots by a quick Google search. As soon as I saw that “Misty Copeland Under Armour” was a suggested term, I knew I had my woman, as I was able to recall us chatting about her cheering on fellow UA Athlete Steph Curry during All-Star Saturday.

Congrats “#PrincipalMisty,” and check out the audio below.
