Michelle Obama is not only known for being the former First Lady to husband Barack Obama, but she is also known for being a strong advocate for women's education. Recently, the internet flooded her with praise with her latest Instagram update.
Express reports that Michelle updated her Instagram, sharing a photo of her hugging young girls during the Obama Foundation conference tour in southeast Asia. Her caption wrote “This week, I sat down with Lana Condor and some Obama Leaders for a conversation about the transformative power of girls’ education...It was wonderful to hear them share their insights and advice with one another, and I can’t wait to see the good that continues to come from their work in the years ahead.”
Since posting the photo on social media, netizens praised her for her work in the region. Some expressed how inspirational the former First Lady is, and some even went on to say how much they missed her as First Lady. Others also even suggested that she try and run for office as well.
Previously, Michelle revealed a challenge she and Barack faced during their early years. In an interview with Marie Claire, the former First Lady was asked why she expressed concern over the cost of summer camps back in 2007 despite having an annual income of $4.2 million. Michelle revealed that she and Barack were still paying their student loans “until a very short time ago...We’re lucky that he’s had a couple of best-selling books...but we didn’t come from very privileged backgrounds.”
Michelle went on to say that she and Barack know what it is like to work hard trying to keep up with the rising costs. She even refuted the claims that political opponents were once throwing at her husband, labeling Barack as elitist as well as “out of touch” with the working class. The former First Lady pointed out how Barack grew up without a father figure, with his mother working hard to put food on the table, even living on food stamps at one point in his life.
She also explained that Barack turned down a Wall Street job in order to help other people who either lost their jobs through the closing of several steel plants.
