Michelle Obama ; The Total Woman



     Call her the world’s First Woman, she will answer but ask her to describe herself she won’t hesitate first and foremost to tell you she is Malia and Sasha’s Mom.
But before she became the total woman we know her to be-a mother, wife ,lawyer and a first lady, she was Fraser and Marian Robinson’s little daughter born and breed on the South Side of Chicago in an household filled with love, laughter and good morals


     A proud product of Chicago Public Schools, Mrs. Obama studied Sociology and African American studies at Princeton University. After graduating from Harvard Law School in 1988, she joined the Chicago Law Firm Sidley and Austin, where she later met the man who became the love of her life.
Your passion will surely tend you to the full actualization of your talents. After a few years, Mrs. Obama decided to follow her true calling which is working with people to serve their communities and their neighbors thus, she served as assistant commissioner of planning and development  in Chicago’s City Hall before becoming the founding executive director of the Chicago Chapter of Public Allies, an Americorps Program that prepares youths for public service.


     Promoting service and working with young people has remained a staple of her career and her interest. Continuing this effort now as first lady, Mrs. Obama  in 2010 launched Let’s Move! The Let’s Move campaign launched on February 9, 2010  was to encourage healthy eating, physical activity. It’s a comprehensive collaborative community oriented initiative that bring together community leaders, teachers, doctors, nurses, moms and dads in a nationwide effort to combat childhood obesity epidemic in a generation so that children born today will reach adulthood at a healthy weight.


     In the same vein, in 2011, Mrs. Obama and Dr. Jill Biden together launched Joining Forces, a nationwide initiative that mobilizes all sectors of society to give service members and their  families the opportunities and support they have earned, and to raise awareness of military families. Joining Forces has been working hand in hand with American business who are committed to answering the president’s challenge to hire or train 100000 unemployed veterans and military spouses by 2013. Joining Forces sees to  the unique needs as pertain to employment, education, and wellness of military family which Jill Biden’s Son is also part of.


     As First Lady, Mrs Obama looks forward to continuing her work on the issues close to her heart-supporting military families, helping women balance career and family, encouraging national service,, fostering healthy eating and healthy living for families across the country.
Her elegant and gracious carriage, unique simple yet classy sartorial sense decodes what constitute a great style which has made her unparallel in her influence on American fashion and has been dubbed as an icon, named twice to the international best dressed list. She is a refined beauty that none can quantify.
