Michelle Obama Covers December Issue of Glamour
First Lady Michelle Obama covers the December issue of Glamour. The issue honors Mrs. Obama with the magazine’s Special Recognition award for mentoring young women. Congrats! Doesn’t she look great!?
Check out the interview snippets below!
Mentoring matters, especially for young women:
“I think that mentoring is such a critical part of the role I can play in this position. I see how little bits of exposure and big bits of exposure really change my girls significantly, and I want that for more girls around the country and the world.”
The real role models aren’t movie stars–they’re the people you know:
“They were the people in my life. My mom, for sure. My dad. The teachers. For me, role-modeling was immediate, it was touchable…Children connect with who is in their lives, present and accounted for…That’s why we’re trying to encourage moms, teachers, fathers, to be that presence in their children’s lives, in their communities, because it really makes a difference.”
Don’t wait to be “discovered” by a mentor:
“I was blessed throughout my entire career. I had people rooting for me. It started with my parents, but it extended to almost every teacher that I had. When I was a young lawyer, there were other women and men in the firm who took me under their wing. Look for those mentors, because sometimes mentors don’t find you–sometimes you seek them out. Oftentimes, they’re flattered and glad to lend a hand.”
