Today @TheTraeYoung had a chance to meet @BarackObama at a NBA Cares event during @NBAAllStar weekend.
In an interview afterwards, you could see how much it meant to Trae that Obama knew a lot about him and his 🏀 game. #TrueToAtlanta pic.twitter.com/fYsNIGLaQq

Chicago is where I first learned the meaning of service. Thrilled to see the @ObamaFoundation out lending a hand across the South Side—couldn’t be more excited to join the #ObamaSummit tomorrow. https://t.co/sKPyGqfsgT

Glad to be back in Chicago for the @ObamaFoundation Summit. It’s where I first learned to organize—and where I met @MichelleObama. We all have places that define us, and at the Summit, we’ll be exploring the meaning behind them—tune in tomorrow at https://t.co/swMRHuB5Y4. https://t.co/oymfsDZVnm

Obama participated in a 45-minute Q&A during the American Institute of Architects’ annual conference at the Orange County Convention Center on Thursday. She spoke about adjusting to life after the White House and discussed her goals for the future and causes she hopes to support. “One issue that I am excited about continuing to work on is … to help young girls get an education around the world,” she said, citing the Let Girls Learn initiative she launched as first lady. Obama also stressed the need to combat violence against women and improve their access to healthcare.

Obama said said she and her family were enjoying the freedoms of post-White House life, such as being able to open their windows at night, travel without a motorcade and answer their own front door. Despite her hesitance to seek elected office in the future, Michelle Obama pledged that she and her husband will be active in social causes. “Barack and I have been in public service our whole lives,” she said. “Public service will always be in our blood.”
