I admire her; I adore her personality and her commitment to hard work which she's had her entire life; I respect her obvious strength which you absolutely have to have as a black woman in this culture. Michelle looks like she'd be the warmest most loving person in the world -- until you piss her off. :) I know so many sisters like that it's ridiculous and I'm certainly that way too.
She is so fantastic to me. I am so happy that she is our First Lady and I would give anything to meet her. When I see pictures of her and her mother and those beautiful girls, I just feel the tears well up out of nowhere. I can't even explain it.
I'm a mother now myself; my angel is now 2. And I just love the fact that when she grows up, she'll have Michelle as another role model of a strong, educated, accomplished black woman living life on her own terms. It just really makes me happy.
P.S. And Sojourner is my girl too! It is truly one of the tremendous deficits of the American education system that I only heard about her in passing while in school. In school, we studied Frederick Douglas and Booker T., but not so much the ladies. My introduction to Sojourner came in my 20's.
