Black women have always been an indispensable and foundational bridge connecting the elements and conditions of daily life with purpose, strength, and determination. The Feminist Movement confirmed to working women that it is okay for all women to successfully juggle multiple roles of wife, mother, caretaker, and career while negotiating the barriers of race, class, and gender.

In the last decade, there have been phenomenal achievements by Black women as science entrepreneurs, roles in technology, in the boardroom as executives, in many fields as athletes, world-famous entertainers, TV show hosts, moguls, and actresses despite socioeconomic conditions. indicators showing that black women are still struggling to catch up with their white counterparts.

The role of a woman today can be defined as a stay-at-home or work-at-home businesswoman or working single mother with a high-powered corporate title as a trophy wife, defined as a symbol of success and prowess seeking men of high power. Women have broken down the old barriers of sexism all the way to the White House.

First Lady Michelle Obama will inspire women in many ways to make a new commitment to the way they live. Living life on purpose and not by accident leaves no excuse for being mediocre. Every day for the next four years and many years to come, Black boys, Black girls and Black women will see a positive and honest image of a woman who looks like them explode and redefine negative myths about women in color.

A strong woman who does not make excuses for how she defines herself in the role of individual first, friend/partner of her husband and mother. Mrs. Obama takes all of her roles seriously and you can see it in her eyes, hear it in the conviction of her words when she speaks. She is so lucky to have been able to trust her mother to take care of her children, without a doubt she gave her a sense of peace that no one else could have given her. We know that our mother will take care of our children as we would or better.

There is no misrepresentation of acceptable definitions of black women that I can see when it comes to Michelle Obama. She sends a message to the world that she is more than okay to be dark-skinned, smart, tall, different, and most of all, to be the First Lady of African-American descent in the White House. The tremendous amount of pressure of being in the public eye, constantly having everything you do reported every minute of every day. Constant travel and movement, speaking to thousands of people at once did not compromise the level of care first for her, her husband and her children.

Malia and Sasha were always the priority for the Obamas, with the faithful and loving hand of their grandmother, Mrs. Marion Robinson, mother of Michelle. As a grandmother, she understands the commitment and sacrifice for the safety and happiness of children. A grandmother who protects the legacy of her family line is a force to be reckoned with. I thank you Mrs. Robinson for making it possible for First Lady Michelle and President Obama to campaign the way they did so successfully. Being a family was important enough to show the world that it is the first priority in all things and it didn’t get in the way of winning the election to become the first African-American presidential family in the United States.

The tone of life has changed to a no more excuses vibration of “get your life in order” and “live your life with a purpose”. Couples are showing each other more love and consideration due to the exchanges of affection we have seen between the Obamas. Parents spend more time with their children, people talk and listen to each other more and respect each other because we have all witnessed Barack and Michelle Obama show genuine care and love for each other. Black public displays of affection is exactly what black children and black people need to see more of. Black men and women have blamed each other for everything that is wrong in their lives and experience a significant amount of resentment and bitterness that affects the level of affection in their relationships and the quality of life for their children.

Blacks can now see that marriage can work with genuine commitment and true devotion to each other. In the very recent past, Black women have been viewed primarily as the product of single mothers and the last to marry compared to our ethnic counterparts. We have great hope that the Obama effect will change the way we are portrayed in popular culture.

We haven’t seen families like the Obamas since The Cosby Show, although such families do exist, said Tracy Sharpley-Whiting, director of African American and Diaspora Studies at Vanderbilt. “Too often in the mainstream media, our families are portrayed as broken and we are seen as statistics and not human,” Rockeymoore said. Our families need fixing and winning the election so far has proven to be the stimulus that will turn things around.

Black women across the country say they hope Michelle Obama’s dark complexion will inspire girls and women of color to feel better about themselves. Ms. Obama’s practice of regular exercise and healthy behavior will inspire women to improve their own health. Most of us need to be more aware of our eating habits and create new behaviors that will affect the general state of health with positive consequences. Mrs. Obama couldn’t have survived the campaign if she hadn’t had some great tools to stay focused and stay healthy.

Now it will be great to fight for excellence in education, which can change the way black kids are ridiculed and mocked for being smart by their own peers. Applying yourself in the classroom and paying attention to your studies has been shown to pay off big. See where you’ll go

After high school, Michelle Robinson majored in sociology at Princeton University, graduating cum laude in 1985. From there she attended Harvard, where she earned her law degree in 1988, a year before her future husband, Barack, whom she hadn’t had. They don’t know each other yet, but they attended the same law school.

President-elect Barack Obama and Michelle Robinson Obama moved in the same circles and attended the same school living life on purpose without realizing that the hands of fate were moving and working to bring them together. Although he was an intern when they met and was asked to mentor her, she recognized the qualities of a very special woman and her instincts were correct because they got married three years after they met. Thank goodness he was humble and open enough to learn from her after graduating from the prestigious Harvard Law School. Thank goodness her goals and aspirations for her career were genuine and honest because anything less wouldn’t even have been looked at twice by a woman like Michelle. She could have fired him, thankfully she didn’t, because there is no question of the power behind the throne. President Barack Obama’s accomplishments and accomplishments would not have been possible without the person he refers to as “the rock of our family” and “the love of my life.”

Mrs. Obama has an impressive career as a former associate dean of the University of Chicago; member of six boards of directors; Vice President for Community and External Affairs at University of Chicago Hospitals. In this role, she was responsible for all programs and initiatives involving hospital-community relations, as well as managing the hospitals’ corporate diversity program. This woman was well established and respected in the Chicago business community.

We could learn something from the disciplined practices of going to bed at 9:30 and getting up early enough each morning at 4:30 to run on a treadmill before starting your day. This is the level of discipline and organization that is needed to manage a very public life and balance it with motherhood with grace and love.

Mrs. Obama says that “Barack did not promise riches.” Michelle explains that “just a life that would be interesting. He kept that promise.”
