I had the chance to sit down with Director George C. Wolfe to talk about @HGMedia’s latest feature film, Rustin — a story Barack and I are just so proud to help tell. Check out my conversation with George, and be sure to watch Rustin with your family and friends now on Netflix! pic.twitter.com/2dQdYTnjwJ
Rustin – the latest film from @HGMedia – celebrates the life and legacy of Bayard Rustin, a giant of the civil rights movement and the architect of the 1963 March on Washington. Check out his story today on Netflix. pic.twitter.com/OSusAiUouu
From our @ObamaFoundation Scholars to our Voyagers, the leaders I met this week inspired me. They’re organizing in their communities, finding solutions to important challenges, and using their voices to bring about change. pic.twitter.com/VP3zhbhqof
Before he takes the stage at tomorrow's #DemocracyForum, President @BarackObama spent some time with our program cohorts to hear from changemakers in our network about the challenges they face in their work to strengthen our democratic culture.
My sister Maya and I had the chance to speak with the talented Asia-Pacific Obama Leaders about leadership, the values that are important to us, and the work they're doing to lift up their communities.
#GetHerThere is about the ways that we can come together to support girls around the world. That’s what we did today in New York, where the @GirlsAlliance celebrated the power and potential of girls everywhere. pic.twitter.com/LUPabcCIuE
I was thrilled to speak with Amal Clooney, @MelindaGates, and Wanjiru Wahome from the @SamburuGirlsFdn, an organization in the @GirlsAlliance Network, about new ways we’re coming together to support girls globally.
It was such an honor to have been a part of yesterday’s WOW Circle—a Working on Womanhood program at Hyde Park Academy that creates space for young women to reflect on how to own their narrative in a world that isn’t always set up to empower them.
I’m so happy to be back home in Chicago—and even happier to have spent the afternoon on the South Side with students at Hyde Park Academy! pic.twitter.com/qcd7DiYEij
It was great speaking with Imani and Austin, two outstanding @UrbanAlliance Obama Youth Jobs Corps students. They’re proof that when we connect young people with training and meaningful work experience, it benefits our communities and the world. pic.twitter.com/6hXjZNsSXx
Ahead of Mandela Day, I spoke with the talented young people who just completed our @ObamaFoundation Leaders Africa program. They’ve been working on some of the most pressing issues across the continent, and are working together to find solutions. I couldn’t be prouder of them. pic.twitter.com/D72wZs8V1M
There’s nothing I love more than meeting with young people. Today, I had the chance to talk with some of the bright high school students from DC with @ReachHigher who shared their stories and plans for the future. I’m so proud of them and can't wait to follow their journeys. pic.twitter.com/IfG65DrJ5x
Disinformation is eroding trust in public institutions and threatening democracies around the world. We're working with our @ObamaFoundation Scholars and leaders to combat these forces, break through barriers, and meet their communities where they are. pic.twitter.com/rQuWvZg1uU
I had so much fun with these bright young people from Hyde Park Academy! I loved hearing about their ideas, passions, and resilience. My message to them—and to every young person out there—is to keep learning and never give up on your dreams. Barack and I believe in you! pic.twitter.com/hdTIrEodRt
