She is Down-to-Earth: Michelle Obama is not your typical first lady. As a matter of fact, she defies the stereotypical role of a first lady. What I love about her is how relatable she is. She has proven that you can be prim and proper, classy, educated and even a first lady, but you can also be human – you can laugh, cry, dance and even rap – all at the same time! How cool is that? I think Michelle Obama has completely redefined the role of first ladies, and more importantly she has been her authentic self all along! She is a true renaissance woman!
