JUST IN: Michelle Obama has been named one of USA TODAY’s “Women of the Year,” a recognition of women who have made a significant impact in their communities and across the country.
When told about the honor, Michelle Obama was asked if she had a guiding mantra. Her answer wasn’t surprising to the people who love her most:
“Barack and I really did use “going high” as a mantra when the critics were loudest,” she said. “For us, going high was a line in the sand, a decision point – a place to step back and decide who we wanted to be.
It’s not always easy to go high, of course. But unlike making the choice to take the low road, going high will never, ever diminish who you are.
It always helps us shine our brightest and lead lives with a little more dignity.”
Congratulations Michelle Obama! 💙
This horrific story is what we should focus on; praying and getting help to these people… not who looks disinterested at the Grammy’s or who has too many fillers..let’s focus on what’s important..🙏🙏🙏
