She was involved in causes that helped the country

Michelle Obama started the “Let’s Move” initiative to eradicate childhood obesity. To resolve the issue of childhood obesity, this campaign gathered local leaders, educators, medical professionals, and parents.

On top of that, she was also in charge of the Reach Higher Initiative, a well-known program that informed children about employment options and encouraged them to pursue higher education. Her effort aimed to empower young American citizens to shape their futures. It was meant to help students understand better academic planning and all learning opportunities.

She’s an author

After a successful career as the first lady of the USA for two terms, Michelle Obama didn’t want to stop there. She wrote a memoir that was very well received in the literary community.

Only in its first year did the book “Becoming” sell 10 million copies. She talked about her days as the US First Lady but also her time growing up in Chicago, among many other things. The book gives the reader a glimpse into her life and how it shaped the woman she is today.

    1. As a Black person, who is the descendent of slaves, endured segregation, are the targets of inequality and have been made America’s permanent second class citizens with no reparation or act to right this very deep and pervasive wound, she only said her truth. And transparency and truth is how they governed this country for 8 years and this country has been in turmoil ever since they left.

  1. kick boxing weight lifting seems to missing something, probably more fries
    and did the same things like most people do so big deal
    but what about her racism nothing about that

  2. What a joke, Her history is a lie and she did more damage then any first lady in History, Not a fan of Hillary, but Hillary did a better job then this worthless piece of crap.

  3. I dont know how i got on your email chain but I do not respect ANYTHING the Obama’s did- nothing they are an evil on this land

  4. Since reading .Becoming, I have been a big fan of Michelle Obama. She is a model of self motivation and overcoming problems put in her path, I truly admire her.

  5. During Obama’s presidency, there were huge betrayals that brought America down, and they were suspiciously never brought up.

  6. This is BS. She is very overweight so not a fitness buff. Losing to Hilary Clinton, one of the most disliked people in America?

    Come on!

  7. Is fact #12 how she has a 10” cock, followed by fact #13 that she hates America? Such a vile person… disbarred from practicing law and all.

  8. Would that we had her now! (But not her husband!) She knew how to be a First Lady, the likes of which the present “First Lady” knows nothing!

  9. She is nothing more than a RACIST black African who does not like the USA or white people as stated by her at some of her appearances—I pray to GOD she stays out of politics with her racist attitude.

  10. You can love your country and still know it needs to change to fulfill its potential. Equity in the eyes of the law, in pay, and in the living conditions of all its citizens is not complete and getting worse. Child poverty is shameful. Voter rights restrictions are illegal. These are our issues. And if we want to be the greatest country, we need to face our demons.

  11. As a Black person, who is the descendent of slaves, endured segregation, are the targets of inequality and have been made America’s permanent second class citizens with no reparation or act to right this very deep and pervasive wound, she only said her truth. And transparency and truth is how they governed this country for 8 years and this country has been in turmoil ever since they left.

  12. No thank you- we don’t need another divisive leader that cares more about enriching themselves and their cronies! The slippery slope of America Started with her husband. For her to put this country down was never and will never be acceptable! NO THANKS TOOTS

  13. Here’s the plan, at the very last moment, M Obama will announce that she/he is running for president to save the world. Putting Biden out to pasture. The longer they wait the better, it is a better chance that certain secrets about Obama’s will not come out until after it’s too late. It would also expose Barack Obama‘s presidency as a complete lie.

  14. When a person does well why do so many people hate on them? Maybe jealousy or envy, maybe both! Check yourselves commenters!!

  15. U 3 commenters are the pathetic ones. You are the racists. I suppose u think Trump is perfect. Wake up! She did more good and represented our country well.

  16. She’s as fake as her con artist husband. If you remember they traveled more than any other president and first lady. And how nice it was of her to remember her friends you mentioned. I remember her using my tax dollars to take50 of her friends on vacation. Her and Oprah are the biggest racist people in the United States.

  17. the article forgot to mention she is a racist who was handed every position she has had in life because shes a radical black racist.

  18. I agree with all above and also, she is a him a transgender on top of it! She is not fooling anyone but herself ha ha!

  19. You are correct. I can’t belive how the majority of the country thinks Mike is a woman! Look at the pictures when the two men were much younger. Before the transgender and two adopted daughters.

  20. How I miss the Obama Days. The peace,love and intelligence that we had every day for 8 years. My thanks and praise to the five of them and my sadness in the loss of Michelle’s mother.

  21. She represents what’s wrong in America today—an explosion of Marxism and hatred of everything that is not a pride of the Democratic Party

  22. She is an inveterate racist and the accolades in this article are overblown. Read “Michele 2024” for the other side of the story and educate yourselves as to how she purported to help the people of Chicago but definitely did NOT. Whoever said she wasn’t “Princeton material” was correct. There’s no question that her color impacted her admission. She might be positive about her country now because she and her husband made tens of millions of dollars from all of us. I wish that both of them would go to live in Hawaii and stay there.

  23. Michael is the most over-rated first “lady”. #2 racist in the white house ever – right behind “his” husband Barack HUSSEIN Obama!

  24. Bill Crap!!! Sure she showed in public being sweet. Fact is, she’s just as crooked as Biden!!! All the stupid Democrats what to do is destroy our country!!

  25. Racist for sure! Only love she has for this country. Is helping all the Democrats turn our country into a third world country and making it be communists dictatorship. They want us to let them control everything the American people do. Another four years under the Democrats. Our country won’t have a chance to turn things around!!!!!!

  26. A strong empathetic speaker, who not only can craft an intelligent speech but deliver it to reach the heart and minds of the men and women of America … regardless of race or color. She has zest for life and willingness to work to make things better for ALL Americans … not just the wealthy. Should she want to enter politics as a participant she would be welcomed with open arms by most of America … sans the bigots represented by some of the comments in this thread. I applaud the former first lady.

  27. Never liked this person
    Her remarks about my America, are no surprise
    She couldn’t have gotten where she is without America’s help
