It's been an honor to know you & you are truly a rare gift to America & the World.




Welcome to the distinguished club, where the honor is earned by the works you do & the battles you've weathered.

WE LOVE YOU MICHELE OBAMA
Advocate, author, lawyer, and 44th First Lady of the United States—the first Black person to serve in the role—Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most influential and iconic women of the 21st century," NWHF said in a press release about the 2021 inductees.

NWHF praised Obama for creating the several programs as first lady, including the Let's Move! program that focused on ending childhood obesity, the Joining Forces organization for veterans, which she lead with current first lady Dr. Jill Biden and Let Girls Learn, which supported girls' education around the world.



She joins Sec Clinton & many more of profound influence
