Obama is Back, Baby!

January 20th was a hard time for plenty of us. The reign of Donald Trump came and we had to cringe as we saw Obama shake Trump's hand and pass on the power. Ohhhh how we miss Obama. It's like the intro to Avatar the Last Airbender, "when we needed him the most, he banished..." But in all fairness, the man deserved a break! After the inauguration, he went on vacation with Michelle to remember the good ol' Barry times. After months of not hearing any big news from Obama (mainly because Donald Trump's been in the spotlight), Obama released a video on his new plans and his summit! Obama is back baby! Here's a video followed by a breakdown!

Their Mission

"Our mission is to inspire and empower people to change their world.
From leaders who are already making an impact, to people who are interested in becoming more involved, but don’t know where to start, our goal is to make our programs accessible to anyone, anywhere. We’ll equip civic innovators, young leaders, and everyday citizens with the skills and tools they need to create change in their communities.
It’s a big job, and we’re just getting started. Learn about our first set of projects and join us in this experiment in citizenship for the 21st century."- https://www.obama.org/mission/

Outreaching

Obama always shows love and support for his hometown of Chicago, but he's going beyond that, he's looking for current and future leaders from Chicago, the U.S, and the world and inviting these brilliant minds to his Summit. After the initial Summit, Obama and the team will be doing more initiatives around the world to inspire and learn. You gotta love this man.

Fellowship

Obama emphasizes that he doesn't just want people from America, he wants bright civic minds from all around the world to have the opportunity to be in a peaceful environment where they can learn and give ideas and hopefully make connections and start a new wave of innovation. Especially at a time like this, we need unity.

The Obama Presidential Center

When he revealed this, it was like at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron when they get that bad-ass looking headquarters. Obama is really making moves out here!!!! The Center will be in his hometown

Conclusion

Especially in the time we are in now, I honestly think this is great and very needed. In this reign of Trump, this video really lightened my heart a little bit and just continued to show how great he is. Being black and seeing a man like this doing so much even after serving his time is just great. It's great that little black boys and girls , especially in Chicago, we see someone like him on the media and in the textbooks and can be inspired by him. If you have 5 minutes you should definitely watch this video to show the impact of Obama.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
