Happy Valentine’s Day, @BarackObama! Every year with you gets better and better. ❤️😘
Music has the power to heal, inspire, and transform our world. If there’s an artist who understands that, it’s @jonbatiste.
Hailing from New Orleans, Jon is a singer and songwriter with many talents – and can play everything from the piano to the melodica to the guitar.
He often says music is “more than entertainment – it’s a spiritual practice.” In Matthew Heineman’s American Symphony – a film that deeply moved Barack and me – we saw that on display as we learned more about Jon and Suleika’s life and love for one another.
In everything he does, Jon truly wears his heart on his sleeve and his music is a soulful reminder of the power we all hold to inspire others through our art. #BlackHistoryMonth 🎶🎹

The incredible @oprah recently celebrated her 70th birthday—and I wanted to take a moment to recognize her trailblazing work this Black History Month.
Throughout Oprah’s indelible career, she has been a news anchor, talk show host, actress, author, entrepreneur, and more. But where Oprah shines brightest is her ability to bring people together. Over the years, she’s shown us how to open up and uncover higher truths. When Oprah connects with something—a person, an idea or a book—we know we’re about to be in for something that makes us think. Something that shows us a better version of ourselves.
We are so lucky to have such a talent leading the way for us all. And I’m so lucky to call her a friend.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, I’m excited to share a few stories of folks who are breaking barriers and transforming our culture with their talents. Today, I’m giving a shout out to the wonderful Colman Domingo.
Now, Colman is a star. And with everything he does, he shines bright — giving his all while delivering vivid and memorable experiences that stay with us long after we watch. From Broadway to TV to films, Colman’s strong work ethic, talent, and charisma have made him a force in the entertainment industry.
Barack and I feel so lucky that he was able to star as Bayard Rustin in George C. Wolfe’s @RustinMovie from our @HigherGroundMedia. He was electrifying in his powerful portrayal of a civil rights leader whose story needed to be told. Colman has won awards and received nominations for his performance, including an Oscar nomination as Best Actor in a Leading Role — making him the first Afro-Latino to be nominated in that category and only the second openly gay actor to receive an Oscar nomination for portraying a gay man. @KingofBingo —Barack and I are so proud of you! Thank you for leading the way and being an inspiration for so many. 👏🏾💕

For the last decade, @ReachHigher has been working with @WeAreASCA to honor our nation’s school counselors for all the incredible work they do. A lot has changed during that time, but one thing has never wavered: the profound impact that school counselors make in the lives of their students.
The 2024 School Counselor of the Year, Dr. Diana Virgil, is a great example of how school counselors go above and beyond for their students. After serving in the Army National Guard, she decided to pursue a career in school counseling. As the school counselor at Daleville High School in Alabama, she has worked tirelessly to provide her students with opportunities to reach their goals. From helping students apply for financial aid and scholarships to bringing dual enrollment classes to her high school to allow them to get college credit, she’s ensuring her students have the opportunities and support they need to navigate their lives and pursue their dreams.
Diana—congratulations on being the 2024 School Counselor of the Year. And to every school counselor out there giving your all every single day, thank you for all that you do. #ReachHigher 🎓

On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, I’m celebrating all the incredible women in #STEM including the next generation of women entering these fields—like Mosa, a student from the @GirlsOpportunityAlliance in Botswana.
Like many girls from her village, Mosa grew up without a computer until an organization called @BOSEJAGirls invited her to join its digital literacy course. On the first day, Mosa created an email address, and soon enough, she was learning how to code. Today, the program is helping her pursue her dream of becoming an engineer.
Mosa, I’m so proud of you — and I wish you the best of luck on your journey ahead! If you’re interested in supporting young women like her and organizations like BOSEJA Girls, check out the Girls Opportunity Alliance at the link in my bio.
