#GetHerThere is about the ways that we can come together to support girls around the world. That’s what we did today in New York, where the @GirlsAlliance celebrated the power and potential of girls everywhere. pic.twitter.com/LUPabcCIuE
I was thrilled to speak with Amal Clooney, @MelindaGates, and Wanjiru Wahome from the @SamburuGirlsFdn, an organization in the @GirlsAlliance Network, about new ways we’re coming together to support girls globally.
It was such an honor to have been a part of yesterday’s WOW Circle—a Working on Womanhood program at Hyde Park Academy that creates space for young women to reflect on how to own their narrative in a world that isn’t always set up to empower them.
I’m so happy to be back home in Chicago—and even happier to have spent the afternoon on the South Side with students at Hyde Park Academy! pic.twitter.com/qcd7DiYEij
It was great speaking with Imani and Austin, two outstanding @UrbanAlliance Obama Youth Jobs Corps students. They’re proof that when we connect young people with training and meaningful work experience, it benefits our communities and the world. pic.twitter.com/6hXjZNsSXx
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
There’s nothing I love more than meeting with young people. Today, I had the chance to talk with some of the bright high school students from DC with @ReachHigher who shared their stories and plans for the future. I’m so proud of them and can't wait to follow their journeys. pic.twitter.com/IfG65DrJ5x
Disinformation is eroding trust in public institutions and threatening democracies around the world. We're working with our @ObamaFoundation Scholars and leaders to combat these forces, break through barriers, and meet their communities where they are. pic.twitter.com/rQuWvZg1uU
I had so much fun with these bright young people from Hyde Park Academy! I loved hearing about their ideas, passions, and resilience. My message to them—and to every young person out there—is to keep learning and never give up on your dreams. Barack and I believe in you! pic.twitter.com/hdTIrEodRt
When it comes to climate change, we can’t afford to go backward—or even stay where we are. If we are going to act on the scale that’s required to combat this climate crisis, we all need to step up and meet this moment together. https://t.co/jyk0ZBcv0S
It was great speaking with the @MBK_Alliance Advisory Council, and hearing more about the work they’re doing to make a difference in the lives of boys and young men of color across the country. https://t.co/b4bpZZXP11
Earlier this month our Advisory Council met with @BarackObama to discuss our progress and the road ahead for @MBK_Alliance. We could not be more grateful for the time and dedication this extraordinary group of leaders provide to our young men and mission! https://t.co/dAbbJ4BHLOpic.twitter.com/jFmgkTkcdr
Barack and I had a great time speaking with @chrisdocnee, @pramsey342, and @HERMusicx about We The People, our latest series from Higher Ground. We talked about the power of music in educating young people about democracy. We hope you'll check it out! pic.twitter.com/T4BM6Q1snE
