They were working together to remove the barriers that prevent girls from pursuing their dreams. The former POTUS expressed her excitement to see the results of their work.

“This is awesome. You, @MichelleObama, lead by example. Keep on keeping on leading. You cross out the Negative coming at us with all your strength and positiveness,” one social media user commented.

“Keep doing good in the world FLOTUS!” another added.

“Nothing more than amazing, absolutely love the work that you are doing mam and all the other stakeholders,” another user opined beefore adding the hashtag “#WomenEmpowerment.”

Another described Michelle’s effort as “amazing” while some said it was “priceless” and a “class act.”

Just recently, Michelle stood for Greta Thunberg after President Donald Trump attacked the 16-year-old activist shortly after she was named as Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year.”

Barack Obama’s wife reminded Thunberg to “don’t let anyone dim your light.” She also reminded the teenager that there are millions of people cheering for her, so she should ignore those who doubt her.

The netizens criticized Melania Trump for failing to defend Thunberg from her husband’s bullying. Some even questioned the FLOTUS’ “Be Best” campaign. Others went on and mocked Melania, telling her to plagiarize Michelle’s statement.

In 2016, Melania was criticized after delivering a speech that was very similar to Michelle’s. Journalist Jarret Hill shared a copy of the former first lady’s speech and highlighted the parts that Melania also mentioned in her own remarks.
