Copeland Under armour advertises their sportswear through an ad starring misty Copeland. It begins with the dancer listing all her imperfections aloud through a rejection letter she had received. She speaks not in a traditional ballerina uniform but in a slim crop top with tight spandex bottoms as she leaps swiftly in the air. The naturalistic idea in this is the “ inner light” one finds in themselves by creating a personal understanding of the universe. She ends it with the quote. “ I will what I want”. Self-reliance is said to be the foundation of transcendentalism.transcendental thoughts are very effectively shown in This commercial by showing the pride misty has in herself. She refuses to fit their norms and expectations.
