Michelle Obama’s Inspiring & Extraordinary Speech!

Watch Michelle Obama’s speech below in this blog – (please scroll down)

As I waited with great anticipation to hear Michelle Obama on Monday night 8/25/08, I must say that I was feeling all kinds of emotions - happiness, a little anxiety, feeling impatient because of the importance of her speech. When she walked to that podium, I felt a great sense of pride as an African American woman.

She is a true testament of divine favor and the grace of God (Jesus). God chose America to be the land of opportunity to all that work hard and believe that all things are possible. I am living God’s dream and purpose for my life. I know that my dream is much greater than myself and listening to Michelle reinforced that God is still in control and I must keep on walking by faith and looking to him for my strength.

During her speech, I did shed tears of joy and excitement at the possibility that as African American women that we would be accepted as smart, talented, and BEAUTIFUL inside and out.  By sharing her version of an American Dream success story, she empowered and inspired women of all colors and backgrounds to have the courage to step out and just take the first step to be all God has created us to be.

I end by saying to you that you are uniquely created with gifts and talents that no one can take away. If you are not living the life that you deserve, it is your fault. Lift up your head, pull your shoulders back, stand up and walk into your divine purpose and destiny with dignity, self-respect, and confidence. And your life will never be the same!
