Several people look up to Michelle Obama for being a woman with substance. In fact, the wife of ex-President Barack Obama continues to make headlines even after she left the White House for good in January 2017. Besides attending public talks and engagements, Michelle has also been busy helping numerous charities and traveling to different parts of America to promote her memoir.

Recently, Michelle sparked another Twitterstorm when she posted “#BlackGirlMagic” on the social media platform. The ex-FLOTUS retweeted ESSENCE’s post about the fact that this year’s winners of Miss America, Miss Teen USA, Miss USA, and Miss Universe pageants are all black women. Michelle, then, jumped into the bandwagon and posted the hashtag on her official Twitter account.

The said post gained mixed reactions from Michelle Obama’s supporters and critics alike. “Yes, and you were our Miss USA for 8 years in a row. Thank you so much for your dedication then and now,” Jane Deaux commented on her post. “I feel you are a big part of why so many dark skins and brown skin women and girls are shining through. Bcuz they took one look at you and said if FLOTUS can't stand tall and hold her head up high with all of her confidence, grace, beauty and always positive, we can do it too,” another netizen stated.

“Black women are beautiful and intelligent. We love them,” Sue Gardenia said. “Michelle, it's God's time for Black women to shine! We have always been queens, but now the world has acknowledged our beauty and genius. Thanks for your continued support with young girls. We are Queens. Let's Go!” a fourth Twitter user responded to Michelle Obama’s tweet.

One netizen even suggested that Michelle Obama could win the presidential race because of the #BlackGirlMagic. “No we just need ONE in the White House,” J Christopher Ricks said. “If drafted, will you run?” another Twitter user stated. “Yes it is, but I can't help but be sadden to see the one black female candidate for President withdrawing from the race,” a seventh netizen wrote. Michelle has yet to comment on these remarks.

To recall, Michelle already denied the reports that she is interested to enter politics. The ex-FLOTUS even told Conan O'Brien, earlier this year, that she just wants a normal life -- something she did not have since Barack Obama's presidency.

"I don't live a normal life. I used to. Normal is very baked into me because of how I was raised, but I also know the life I've lived for the last 10 years is no longer normal," Michelle Obama said. "Eight years is enough. It is enough. It's time for new ideas and people who've been in the Chipotle line, and people who are struggling in ways that, because of the nature of what we've done, we don't do that anymore. We need fresh, real, clear eyes in this stuff. That's why we're investing our time in training the next leaders," she went on.
