She Experienced Racism at Boston Conservatory

After her time at DADA, Kylie was accepted to the Boston Conservatory at Berklee, where she graduated in 2016 with a bachelor's degree in contemporary dance. However, Kylie confessed during an interview with Dance Spirit magazine that her experience wasn't always positive and she dealt with her fair share of racism. "At the Boston Conservatory, girls were complaining to the head of the dance division about parts I was getting," she explained. "They said I was given them because I was Black. Don't they think I was aware of the stares or forced smiles they gave me when I did more turns than they did, or my arabesques got higher?"
