It is probably safe to say that Michelle Obama is one of the most popular US First Ladies of modern time. Born on January 17th, 1964 in Chicago, Illinois, after finishing law school she became an associate at the Chicago office of the law firm Sidley & Austin. It was where she met Barack Obama, her future husband and the 44th president of the United States. They were married in 1992, and a few years later the couple became parents of two girls – Malia Ann, born in 1998, and Natasha, born in 2001.
Michelle was the First lady of the US from 2009 until 2017. She was never involved in major scandals, was warmly accepted, respected, and beloved by many, always representing the country in the best light. Her project as a First Lady, “Let’s Move”, a program to help children be more active and fight obesity, shows just how much she cares about the health of the future of the country. Her autobiography, “Becoming”, was released in 2018 with 11.5 million copies sold by November 2019. In 2020 “Becoming” was also turned into a Netflix documentary and that same year Michelle released her very own podcast, “The Michelle Obama Podcast”. As First Lady, she focused her energy on many social issues such as fighting poverty, making healthy living a priority, and speaking about the importance of education. Although she is still active, the former first lady now spends more time with her family.
Michelle Obama is not only intelligent, passionate, down-to-earth, and caring, but she definitely knows what it takes to look good as well. The first African-American First Lady is the epitome of elegance and good taste. She always chooses the best outfits and knows how to wear them in style.
