To accompany her bestseller Becoming, former First Lady of the United States of America Michelle Obama launched a line of inspirational merchandise covered in her best quotes. The line includes apparel, tote bags, mugs, a woven blanket, pencils and more, inspired by Kailua Blue - the White House’s official Obama State China which took 3-1/2 years to design.
The net proceeds of all purchases go to the Global Girls Alliance's education initiatives to "increase support for and awareness of community programs that are making a difference, spark a vibrant global discussion on adolescent girls and the barriers that prevent them from reaching their full potential, and provide opportunities for global citizens to take action."
"Becoming isn't about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn't end.” - Michelle Obama
With passion, purpose, and drive, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As former First Lady, she is the first African American to serve in that role helping create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history. She is a natural, charismatic leader and also a powerful advocate for women and girls worldwide recognizing that "The future of our world is only as bright as our girls."
Created by the Obama Foundation, The Girls Opportunity Alliance, is a program that seeks to empower adolescent girls around the world through education, allowing them to achieve their full potential and transform their families, communities, and countries. Believe it or not, more than 98 million adolescent girls around the world are not in school and we cannot believe how high this number is. We think The Girls Opportunity Alliance is a fabulous program that actively engages people around the world to take action to help these young adolescent girls and the grassroots leaders working to help them reach their potential.
If you are looking for a gift for someone special (or even for you!) that supports a great cause, we love the Find Your Flame Candle and the inspirational message it carries. With many items from Michelle Obama's shop selling out quickly, we recommend you take a quick peek at her online store becomingmichelleobamashop.com soon - before it sells out!
