    I´m European, but gosh I miss the Obama´s in the White House and in the World on a bigger stage! Michelle is just such an awesome, hard working, humble person...lots of dignity and thought...and yes to all! Listen more to what your Mommas tell you! And believe and go for it! And whatever you do or are about to do ask yourself: Would Momma be ok with that? That keeps you 99% out of trouble and on the right path...

    “Every society says its outsiders are the problem. But the outsiders are not the problem; the urge to create outsiders is the problem. Overcoming that urge is our greatest challenge and our greatest promise. It will take courage and insight, because the people we push to the margins are the ones who trigger in us the feelings we're afraid of.” ― Melinda Gates, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World
