Amy Poehler's Smart Girls - Repost from #usowomen•“…for me, this day is not just about what has happ

Repost from me, this day is not just about what has happened. It’s also about what could happen because a girl like me, she was never supposed to be up there next to Jacqueline Kennedy and Dolley Madison. She was never supposed to live in this house and she definitely wasn’t supposed to serve as first lady... But what we’re looking at today — a portrait of a biracial kid with an unusual name and the daughter of a water pump operator and a stay-at-home mom — what we are seeing is a reminder that there’s a place for everyone in this country. Because as Barack said, if the two of us can end up on the walls of the most famous address in the world, then again it is so important for every young kid who is doubting themselves to believe that they can, too. That is what this country is about.”—First Lady Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama🎨: painter of Official White House Portrait...Image description: the official White House portrait of former First Lady Michelle Obama.
