Michelle Obama On the Front Line for Po Black Folks...,


WaPo |  Is this the woman that Michelle Obama sees when she looks in the mirror now, free of the White House and the media scrutiny of presidential politics? After more than a decade in public life, can she freely shed the sheath dress and pearls for a wide brim black hat and dookie braids?

She just did.

By allowing herself to be photographed alongside 15 other members of BeyoncĂ©’s inner circle, Obama reclaimed her image from the annals of stodgy first lady portraits. And, she did it by embodying BeyoncĂ©’s.

The image, in case you haven’t seen it, is part of a birthday tribute to the singer who posted portraits of black women — some famous, others not — dressed in one of her iconic looks from the “Formation” video.
