Michelle Obama is truly amazing. She definitely makes me more proud to be a Black woman. In this day and age we have very few positive role models for young women. Michelle represents elegance and carries herself gracefully. We are definitely competing with the likes of the Nicki Minaj’s, Trina’s, and Lil Kim’s for the attention of young African-American women. Yes, all of the women listed above are talented, but the images that they represent for black women are not positive.
I am not telling 17 and 18yr olds to go outside in a business suit or pencil skirt and cardigan, but to always remember to respect themselves and not comform to what is popular in society. The respect you have for yourself should come across in your appearance, actions, and attitude.
