Thank you Mrs. Obama,

Michelle Obama, you have been an inspiration to us all. You gave the White House class and grace, while maintaining effortless style. She graced hundreds of covers throughout her eight years as first lady, and inspired so many people with her iconic style. She introduced many designers to the forefront of the fashion industry, like Jason Wu, an American designer who dressed Michelle for both of her inaugurations and also Donald Trump’s inauguration as well. She specifically chose designers for many of her events, like for many of the state diners, she would wear a designer for the country that they were hosting. One example of that is the famous chainmail dress that she wore at her last state dinner hosting Italy. The dress was Versace, an Italian brand. You motivated us to do better and be better. She also wore a lot of affordable and everyday clothes that were easily accessible. One of the brands that she wore occasionally was J.Crew. During the presidential election we could’ve been petty, but you urged us that “when they go low, we go high”. You were an inspiration to many young women to keep striving in school, talking about her own experience “There is no boy at this age that is cute enough or interesting enough to stop you from getting your education,” she said. “If I had worried about who liked me and who thought I was cute when I was your age, I wouldn’t be married to the president of the United States today.” She spoke pure facts and taught us that the cutie in your biology class will probably distract you from getting an A in that class. She even started initiatives to help girls receive a better and more quality education around the world. With her Let Girls Learn initiative she brought together many United States agencies to help support adolescent girls and their education in underdeveloped countries. Millions of dollars were donated in order to supply educational services for girls in places like Laos, Morocco, and many other countries. She raised her daughters to be amazing young women and while in the white house never lost sight of her duties as a mom. Michelle Obama is a dark skin woman from the southside of Chicago, who went to Princeton and Harvard Law School. She worked at many distinguished places like Sidley Austin LLP (where she met her future husband), worked for the Chicago mayor’s office, was the executive director for the Chicago office of Public Allies, joined the University of Chicago as associate dean of student services in 1996, was an executive director at the University of Chicago medical center, and then was appointed to vice president for community and external affairs at the University of Chicago Medical Center. She showed the world that black women are not just a nasty stereotype portrayed the media. She wasn’t angry or ghetto, or any other stereotype that media tried to throw at her. She didn’t out at people who disrespected her time after time, by calling her a gorilla, or terrorist, or not a real first lady. She rose above that even though many people (like myself) would’ve went on a tirade of cursing people out and picking fights with these bullies. I love you Michelle, because you’ve inspired me to grow as a woman and as someone in school. When I look at you I see myself, I see my potential, I see all the little black girls in my neighborhood, I see all of my cousins and friends, I see my mother, and most importantly I see hope. I have hope that more girls will try to strive to your level of success or better. I have hope that little dark skin black girls will look in the mirror and see a queen, and see that opportunities are endless for them. She teaches us that we can have fun and dance, while also being serious about our work. She taught us that black love is real and that one day you will find that perfect person that will make you smile everyday (Michelle and Barack Forever). She taught us so many things. So here’s to you Michelle. Thank’s for your eight years as first lady. You will always be my first lady and the coolest first lady ever in office.

Love,

P.S. Hopefully I can meet you and captivate with my charm, so that I can work with you.
