Mandela Day

Ahead of Mandela Day, I spoke with the talented young people who just completed our @ObamaFoundation Leaders Africa program. They’ve been working on some of the most pressing issues across the continent, and are working together to find solutions. I couldn’t be prouder of them. pic.twitter.com/D72wZs8V1M

I am so proud of these young leaders who are putting in the work to build on their leadership skills, connect with one another, and make a bigger impact across Africa. The work they're doing couldn’t be more important. Barack and I will be cheering these #ObamaLeaders on! https://t.co/goe7AxWhaO

Change Across The Continent

One of the things I’ve always loved about basketball is the fact that it brings people together and empowers young people everywhere. I’m proud to join the team at @NBA_Africa and look forward to seeing the change we can create across the continent. https://t.co/MzzFgm5QbT

#DayOfTheGirl

With #DayoftheGirl on Friday, I want you to meet Diana, whose life was transformed by a scholarship from @AGEAfrica. It’s an example of what happens when we invest in the promise inside every girl. Support their work through @GirlsAlliance: https://t.co/uAJh9LbSW0 pic.twitter.com/NthggSn7zv

Happy #DayoftheGirl! I’m excited to share that in December, I’ll be visiting Vietnam to meet some of the inspiring girls from the @GirlsAlliance community and the organizations that work so hard to support their dreams.

I can't wait to share their stories with you.

Connecting Global Leaders

No one changes the world alone. That’s why the @ObamaFoundation is connecting emerging leaders from South Africa to Singapore to the South Side of Chicago—so they can change the world together. Read my reflection on our second year: https://t.co/ly3en2Neu4
