This past week I attended the Democratic National Convention 2016. The four days were filled with wonderful moments but a few stood out above the rest. If you missed the Convention, here are a few shining moments from the four day extravaganza.
1. Herstory
Obviously, the number 1 stand out moment of the entire convention was Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech, making her the first female presidential nominee for a major party. The energy of the entire arena was electric, filled with excitement and joy for the path our country is headed down, a path where no matter who you are, an African American or a woman, you can truly have the opportunity to become president.
2. President Obama Passes over the Baton
President Obama gave an unforgettable speech on the third day of the convention. Like always, he spoke words of hope and inspiration. The president got the entire arena excited to back Hillary in this next election, reminding citizens in the arena and at home why Clinton is the most qualified individual to become president. He left the crowd with encouragements to support Hillary the way we have all supported him. President Obama is a truly amazing individual and I am so blessed to have been able see him inspire so many in person.
3. Michelle Obama Slays as Always
If you didn't know, Michelle Obama is the most perfect human being on the planet. She kept her status alive on the fist night of the conventing with a speech that gave chills and caused a few tears. Michelle spotlighted the fact that she wakes up everyday in a house built by slaves, revealing how far this country has come and the huge impact the Obama family has made in history. Or first lady is truly one of a kind and will always be looked up to, even after the Obama presidency.
