Introduction
As First Lady, Michelle Obama not only fought to provide better nutrition for children, but also instilled in young people, especially women, that they deserve a place at the table.
Following a top education at Princeton and Harvard Law, Michelle was a lawyer, a vice president of a hospital group, and served on the board of a major food supplier. However, seeing that there was an even greater good she could enact with her husband as the first family, she left her career to become First Lady of the United States.
Over the following decade, Michelle Obama has proven to be one of the kindest, most caring, compassionate figures in the country, earning her the unofficial title of Forever First Lady
among her supporters. With intelligence, warmth, and an unshakeable will to do right, Michelle Obama taught us that the high road is always the right way.
I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life: grandmothers, teachers, aunts, cousins, neighbors, who taught me about quiet strength and dignity.

Arts education is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.

Being a mother made me a better professional, because coming home every night to my girls reminded me what I was working for, and being a professional made me a better mother, because by pursuing my dreams, I was modeling for my girls how to pursue their dreams.
—Let Girls Learn event, March 18, 2015
Nothing is more important than the health and well-being of our children. Nothing. And our hopes for their future should drive every single decision that we make.
