Bright Students

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

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

Hyde Park Academy

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

Climate Change: Stepping Up

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 can be tough to change the status quo and at times it can be really lonely. Knowing you can call on a whole community of people, it means a lot.” —@NimaTisdall, one of the passionate #ObamaLeaders who joined President @BarackObama for a #ClimateCrisis discussion in Glasgow. pic.twitter.com/Ulykx69q2S

The Obama Portraits

The first time I met Amy Sherald, our connection was instant. From the way she carried herself to the art she created, I knew she was the artist to paint my portrait. Tonight, we're chatting with Thelma Golden about the #ObamaPortraitsTour at @artinstitutechi. Join us at 6pm ET!

Girl Talk: Knowledge Is Our Superpower

Well-Read Black Girl Book Club

In each of us, there's a story to be shared—a story that’s sacred and can bring us together. I had such a good time talking with the @WellReadBlkGirl Book Club about A Promised Land because just as they learned about my story, I had a chance to learn from theirs. pic.twitter.com/u6vAXUSK5s

Activist Family

It was great to hear from this impressive group of young leaders. If there's one thing we can bank on, it’s that young folks like these are our best hope for a more sustainable and just world. https://t.co/r3hzsgwgg3
