Michelle Obama's style was an expression of intention—lifting up new designers, and shopping where everyone shops. Joy. Color. Confidence. A reminder that no one gets to define beauty for you.
So proud of my big brother, @CraigMalRob!
And a huge congrats to the Class of 2026! We know how hard you worked to make it to graduation day, and can't wait to see what you achieve in the months and years ahead. 🎓🎉
"In a world that is increasingly loud and self-focused, being the person who 'sets the screen' is a superpower. It’s easy to be the person with the ball; it’s much harder, and much more rewarding, to be the person who creates the space for someone else to score. Whether you end up in the halls of government, a high-tech lab, or a neighborhood nonprofit, remember that your degree isn't a crown to be worn—it’s a tool to be used in the service of others."

There isn’t a moment that goes by that my mom’s words and example aren’t guiding me. I will always carry the values that she gave me, which I’ve done my best to pass on to my daughters, too.
Happy Mother’s Day. ❤️
Michelle and I can’t wait for you to visit the Obama Presidential Center!
Starting on June 19, the Center will be open to the public, and you’ll be able to check out the Museum along with public spaces like a new branch of the Chicago Public Library with a reading room, a two-acre playground, a fruit and vegetable garden, and more.

Throughout #WomensHistoryMonth, I’ve been sharing the stories of organizations in the @GirlsAlliance Network working to empower young women and girls around the world.
Today, I'm sharing more about Quinta Ola, a leadership development program for girls in Peru. Take a look:
Box United is teaching Chicago girls how to grow into strong women—both inside the ring and out! This #WomensHistoryMonth, learn about the ways the @GirlsAlliance is supporting the program’s work to empower young girls through boxing.
We're proud of the work our Network is doing to support the next generation of girls in Chicago. Take a look at the magic that happened when we brought together more than 100 of these leaders—and then consider joining us to support their efforts this #WomensHistoryMonth!
I’m proud of the work that the @GirlsAlliance is doing to support 250 grassroots projects to empower more than 160,000 girls in 50 countries.
This #InternationalWomensDay, I hope you’ll join us in helping change the lives of more girls around the world: https://t.co/OD9qhmAcZQ

Growing up in Chicago, I loved jumping Double Dutch. That’s why I’m so inspired by the work of @BlackGirlsJump—they are spreading joy, building bonds, and helping girls become confident leaders. We’re proud to support their work through the @GirlsAlliance. #BlackHistoryMonth
This #BlackHistoryMonth, we are celebrating some of the remarkable leaders in our Network who are making a difference in Chicago.
Dr. Darryca Brim started Focus Fairies Mentoring to support girls in her community who often don’t have access to mentorship programs. Take a look:
Michelle and I were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of a true giant, the Reverend Jesse Jackson. We will always be grateful for Jesse's lifetime of service, and the friendship our families share. We stood on his shoulders. We send our deepest condolences to the Jackson family and everyone in Chicago and beyond who knew and loved him.
The @GirlsAlliance is proud to support girls getting #STEM education all around the world—including at the Dhammajarinee Witthaya School in Thailand. On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, I hope you’ll learn more about their story and consider supporting our work. https://t.co/NXJay5oIqw
