Michelle Obama Instagram – Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Today, I’m celebrating five remarkable grassroots leaders from the @GirlsOpportunityAlliance — Jackie, Sanam, Tameka, Karla, and Myriam — who are working tirelessly to create a brighter future for girls around the world. From villages in Nepal to my hometown of Chicago, these trailblazers are a shining example to us all. They’re providing life-changing scholarships to girls pursuing their education. They’re working to prevent child marriage in their communities. They’re teaching girls about the importance of their mental and physical health. And they’re mentoring girls along the way — showing them that they aren’t alone and that their rights and their dreams matter just as much as the rights and dreams of boys and men. These changemakers are helping girls everywhere reimagine their futures — and I hope you’ll learn more about them and join us in supporting their efforts by clicking the link in my bio.
