First Lady gives moving speech at Spelman College


Michelle Obama recently spoke at the Spelman College commencement, offering her advice to the recent graduates of one of the country's oldest academic establishments that has educated some of the most successful African American women in the world.


The First Lady told her audience that it is their duty to do the best that they can, and to encourage others to do the same.


“It is vitally important that you all rise to the highest ranks of every industry and every profession,” Obama said, quoted by The Atlanta Journal - Constitution. “As you climb those career ladders, just remember to reach down and pull others up behind you.”


Much like her husband, Obama never fails to charm. From her words of wisdom to her glowing ethnic skin, she's become an icon of American beauty.


The First Lady's makeup artist, Igrid Grimes-Myles, told ELLE magazine that much of what keeps Obama looking fresh is healthy lifestyle choices, like exercising and getting plenty of water.


They key to flawless African American skin involves more than great skin care products, as it starts from the inside with proper nutrition and optimal physical health.
