Michelle Obama, who served as First Lady of the United States from 2009 to 2017, made history as the first African-American woman to hold the role. Throughout her tenure, she championed health, education, and equality through initiatives like Let’s Move, Let Girls Learn, and Reach Higher. Despite her many achievements, she recently revealed feeling pressured to avoid wearing braids during her time in the White House to prevent them from becoming a distraction. Now, embracing her freedom, she proudly wears her hair in braids as a symbol of self-expression and empowerment.
