On the cover of it's December 2016 issue, Vogue magazine calls Michelle Obama "the First Lady the world fell in love with," and that's no lie. Michelle Obama has caused a stir from the moment she took center stage on election night in 2008, next to President Barack Obama and her girls, Malia and Sasha. She was poised, confident, radiant. She broke barriers by baring her arms in her official portrait, causing controversy and admiration for our physically fit First Lady.
Over the past eight years, she has embodied her phrase, "when they go low, we go high," by taking on each challenge and criticism with extreme class and determination.
Michelle is the entire package - smart, compassionate, strong, wise, kind, with an amazing sense of humor and self-assurance that many First Ladies never accomplish under the shadow of the "Leader of the Free World."
It was wonderful to follow the causes she has championed, to eagerly await her sartorial choices, and to simply bask in her Black Girl Magic. She will be greatly missed as First Lady of the United States, but I am looking forward, with much anticipation, to what's next for her.
Whatever it is, I know the world will continue to follow and love her with all the devotion as when she was our First Lady.
