Behind every successful man is a woman: Michelle Obama

President’s Day…NO! First Lady’s Day

Her career

Michelle Obama is a first lady I can finally relate to. She is black, intelligent, pretty and last but

not least stylist. Michelle Obama is considered a fashion icon by some and a great role model

for all women. I am inspired by her advocacy for poverty awareness, nutrition, physical activity

and healthy eating. I am inspired by her efforts to make a legacy for herself

My letter to my first lady:

Dear Mrs. Obama,

I’m not sure where to start. Thank you for being a strong black woman and a role model. While

researching for today’s blog I was re-inspired by your upbringing and how you have taken the role of

First Lady and showed nothing but grace. You are amazing and unique. I admire you strength,

courage intelligence, and your take charge spirit. I would love the opportunity to meet you if only for a

few seconds. I imagine how it would be. It is very humbling your work with people and how you

served your community. You are definitely to be commended for your work against childhood obesity

through your Let’s Move initiative. Your made us (black girls) no longer invisible. You made it OK to

speak properly, dress conservatively on the world’s stage through your speech, and fierce dress. I

will always remember.

“Always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals.”

~Michelle Obama
