5. What would you say in a letter...

What would you say in a letter to @michelleobama? For @tmagazine’s #tgreats issue, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, @gloriasteinem, Jon Meacham and @rashidajones wrote thank-you notes to the first lady, who @gloriasteinem describes as “a tall, strong, elegant and seriously smart woman” who happens to live in the @whitehouse. “The important thing,” Jon Meacham writes, “is that Mrs. Obama, a clear-eyed lawyer, found a way to withstand the scrutiny of the spotlight. ... To borrow a phrase from William Faulkner, she not only endured it; she prevailed over it.” @rashidajones writes that #MichelleObama was the first #firstlady so show women that they don’t have to choose. “If feminism’s goal is equal opportunity and choice, Michelle makes me feel like every choice is available,” she writes. “You can go to Princeton and Harvard, you can rap with Missy Elliott, you can be a mother and a lawyer and a powerful orator.” And Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie writes that, watching @michelleobama speak at the 2016 @demconvention, “I realized then that she hadn’t been waiting to exhale these past 8 years. She had been letting that breath out, in small movements, careful because she had to be, but exhaling still.” Visit the link in our profile to read 4 letters to the first lady. The photographer Collier Schorr took this photo while on assignment for @tmagazine.

She has clearly been one, if not the single, most effective first ladies of all time (not to take anything away from Eleanor Roosevelt, who I still think will always be extremely high on the list).

When I watch her speak, or see her on a late night show, or a news clip- She garners all my attention effortlessly and I think, how much President Obama must adore this incredible women.

Michelle Obama is a naturally, very beautiful woman. And I know that I could find 100 better photos of her with a simple Google search that I would much prefer.

In real life, Michelle has an ageless beauty, but she's still very much the "every woman" both men and women would like to meet.

This photo, however, shows none of her character and makes her look like just another beautiful cover model. And I guess that's the point.



ETA - DO visit the website - there's some gorgeous photos of her when you scroll down.
