LOOK: President and Michelle Obama Are on the Cover of Essence Magazine

What a Wonderful Couple!

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama appear on the cover of ESSENCE Magazine’s October issue. 

“I think when it comes to Black kids, it means something for them to have spent most of their life seeing the family in the White House look like them,” the First Lady told ESSENCE. “It matters. All the future work that Barack talked about, I think over these last few years, we’ve kind of knocked the ceiling of limitation off the roofs of many young kids; imaginations of what’s possible for them. And as a mother, I wouldn’t underestimate how important that is, having that vision that you can really do anything—not because somebody told you, but because you’ve seen and experienced it. I think that will be a lasting impact on our kids.”
