If I Could Be 'Like Michelle Obama'!

We all know First Lady Michelle Obama inspires millions, both here in the U.S. and abroad.

Books have been written about her, bloggers track her every move, fashion and style mavens write about her commanding and glamorous style, food critics critique her healthy eating initiativemilitary families are thankful for her, and kids love her for keeping them active!

So, it was just a matter of time before someone came out with a song about her.

Enter Talia Wheeler, one-fifth of the talented members of Hip Hop Education (H.H.E.), the educational hip hop group that puts positive rap lyrics to music for young people. Their mission is to provide youth with an opportunity to use their voices for positive and social change.

In her song, 'Like Michelle Obama', Wheeler raps about being just like the first lady.

Take a listen.



More about H.H.E.
Another purpose of H.H.E. (per their website) is to educate, empower and activate young people to become the next generation of social justice leaders by giving them a voice in front of their peers to inspire positive change in their community.

I can honestly say that the kids of H.H.E. are doing just that.  I was first introduced to them at a rally for the members of the Jena 6 in 2007.  I was in awe watching them perform, and have been a fan ever since.

Make sure you remember the name, Hip Hop Education, because this family-oriented and talented group of youngsters are both today's, and the future's, shining stars!

Shining stars even First Lady Michelle Obama would be proud to know.

President Biden discusses America's economy during July 4th address to military families.

"Our Economy is the strongest in the world."  " . ..  Our economy is growing, but not without pain.  Liberty is under assault -- assault both here and abroad.  In recent days, there's been reason to think that this country is moving backward, that  freedom  is being reduced, that rights we assumed were protected are no longer.  A reminder that we remain in an ongoing battle for the soul of America, as we have for over 200 years.  4th of July photo courtesy of - the Internet. I know it can be exhausting and unsettling.  But tonight, I want you to know we're going to get through all of this -- for all that we have faced, that we are going to get through this, and look how far we've come.    We're reclaiming our way of life in a pandemic.  Vaccines are nearly available to every American, restrictions lifted, the Fourth of July together again at the White House.    And for all the challenges, America has the strongest economy in the world.  More people are wo
