rewriting my story | nia sioux

Avery sits down with dancer-actor and now-author Nia Sioux to talk about growing up on Dance Moms and growing into her voice. Nia opens up about being the only Black girl on the team for years, setting boundaries (including why skipping the reunion was the right call for her), and what it took to reclaim her story in her new memoir Bottom of the Pyramid. 

Nia and Avery get real about body image under a microscope, internet noise vs. inner confidence, and the village that raised her...hi, Dr. Holly! Nia shares sweet behind-the-scenes memories with the girls, why she loved going to college at UCLA, and how dancing in a club on campus helped her fall in love with it again. Plus: the wildest dance costumes she wore over the years, the life lessons that stuck, and how she’s protecting her peace while stepping into this next chapter.
