A first lady that has taken these past eight years, and graced them with respect and civility; embellishing a country that is now greatly divided, with optimism, and an inspiring message of empowerment that generated a significant movement towards the positive progression of our world, and future to come.

In speaking about Michelle Obama, Valerie Jarrett says,

“She has this extraordinary ability to meet people where they are, and I think that’s hard to do from the lofty perch of the White House. But she has never climbed up on the perch!”

Among other things, this remarkable woman has set the bar very high for the First Lady to come, with her ability to show that the Obama’s role as such high members of society does not separate them from the bulk of the population, demonstrating everyone’s roles as equals, beyond any kind of monetary status.

Soon to be the former first African American First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama shows that a first lady is capable of maintaining the role of a mother, whilst maintaining this overwhelmingly strong angelic-presence as an advocate for constructive change, and right-hand guidance for her husband. Responsible for four extremely significant movements during her role as First Lady; Let’s Move, Joining Forces, the Reach Higher initiative, and Let Girls Learn, Michelle Obama has spoken to the greatest number of demographics and psychographics, politically and socially shaping a movement with a goal to better society.

It is because of her outstanding strengths and qualities that Michelle Obama will be seen in history as a remarkable, much-needed light, and defining lady. While illustrating the strength of Eleanor Roosevelt in a much more progression age, Michelle Obama signifies an inspiring figure that has become a role model, a “mother in chief,” ; portraying a beautiful rhythm of kindness, beauty, and intelligence.
