From an early age, my mom saw that I had a flame inside me and she never tempered it. Mom, thank you for kindling that fire within me, and for your example as a mother and a grandmother to our girls. We would never be who we are today without you. #HappyMothersDay, Mom. Love you.

We’re honored to have @MichelleObama on campus to discuss “Becoming” with our “Black Women: Developing Public Leadership Skills” class, led by political science professor Dr. Marilyn Davis. The class studied the autobiography as a part of the course curriculum. #IAmBecoming
