Michelle Lavaughn Robinson Obama

Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama, our first African American first lady has her own accomplishments which far exceed what she had dreamed of when she was a little girl in Chicago.  She has been a lawyer, university administrator, writer, and advocate.  She has won a grammy award, shorty award, and Nickelodean Kid’s Choice award.  She is multi-talented, presidential enough to be elected president  herself. She has shown grace, confidence and beauty in the face of every challenge. Her husband Barack and her children Malia and Sasha are proud of her and her accomplishments. “I always tell young girls to surround yourself with goodness,” she is quoted. “I learned early on how to get haters out of my life.”
She is the vision of assertive womanhood.
