Hair She Goes! First Lady Michelle Obama Covers October Essence
ESSENCE magazine today announced that First Lady Michelle Obama will grace the cover of its October issue; with a revealing interview highlighting ESSENCE and the First Lady’s shared commitment to women and girls around the world. For the annual October ‘Power Issue,’ First Lady Michelle Obama is also feted as one of the world’s most influential Black women on the magazine’s ’2011 Power List.’ The October issue is available on newsstands as of September 12, 2011.
“Michelle Obama is the quintessential ESSENCE woman; impressively defining herself on her own terms,” commented ESSENCE Editor-in-Chief Constance C.R. White. “Opening up to ESSENCE about living her most authentic life – by following her passions and unapologetically investing in herself and her family — Michelle Obama is embracing her purpose and channeling her power. She is undoubtedly poised to become one of the country’s most popular and productive First Ladies.”
In the ESSENCE October cover story, entitled “The Leading Lady,” Michelle Obama recounts her emotional trip to Africa, providing exclusive images for ESSENCE readers which document her various stops and what they meant to her personally: ”One of the most beautiful aspects of my trip to Africa was the fact that there were three generations of us there. It was me, my two little girls and my mom…”
The First Lady also shares her mission to impart a critical message to young women: “My story to young people around this country and around the world is, don’t look at me as the First Lady first; look at me as Michelle Obama, a girl who grew up on the South Side of Chicago. Because I was there, and this is attainable.”
