#michelleobama
You probably expected this one, but how can we not highlight this amazing black woman that we all can take a number from? For eight years, Michelle Obama was our mother, motivational speaker, style icon, and our First Lady. (I’m obviously just speaking for us; not too sure about those in [redacted]’s America.)
Before she was so many things to us, Michelle Obama was a Harvard Law School graduate and a pillar in the Chicago community. She used her experience and knowledge to get involved with non-profit organizations and higher education in the Chicago area. When she decided to help run the inauguration campaign of my President, Barack Obama, she put her professional work within the Chicago community aside. As the First Lady, Michelle Obama implemented many programs revolving around health and education that continue to influence us today.
We all remember the infamous speeches that Michelle is known for. As a woman of strength, she exudes confidence in everything that she does. In a time where young black children only knew an African American family in the White House, she made sure to represent the best of us. She conveyed that there was nothing, as black women, that we can’t achieve. She, along with my President, were the epitome of hope to those who look just like them.
I am thankful that I am able to experience the ongoing work of Michelle Obama and the footprint that she will leave on this earth.
This month we honor Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama.
