Michelle Obama
What can I say about Mrs. Michelle Obama that has not already been said?
Nothing.
But the sentiment remains that she will forever reign and the most refined, most astute, most intelligent, and most accomplished First Lady the United States has ever known.
Not to mention, she slays; whether it’s her impeccable fashion sense, her side eye game, her quick wit that is so fast it slices those who don’t do right without ever mentioning them by name.
On this, her 54th birthday, The Reclaimed is honored to celebrate the queen herself; Michelle Obama through her most power, prolific, and just plain awesome quote gems.
