Our FLOTUS just keeps giving us reasons to nominate her as the coolest (and most stylish) first lady ever! First there was becoming besties with Beyoncé, then helping to choreograph a dance to help kids stay in shape-and performing it with dancers and some lucky kids. Now, Michelle Obama has stepped in the booth to rap about -- what else? -- why kids should stay in school and go to college.
We did mention how cool our FLOTUS is, right? OK, just checking. Obama joined forces with Saturday Night Live comedian Jay Pharoah to lay the track down, and "Go To College" is absolutely everything. Besides listening to Obama spit some fierce rhymes (she's really not half bad), you'll get the additional treat of watching her and Pharoah bust a couple of moves in the video, which is part of the first lady's Better Make Room campaign, a component of her Reach Higher Initiative.
According to CNN, Reach Higher targets teens and teaches them that learning goes beyond high school. The goal is "to inspire every student in America to take charge of their future by completing their education past high school, whether at a professional training program, a community college or a four-year college or university."
What's really wonderful about our first lady is that she's not just the woman on the arm of the president. She seems to take a lot of joy in encouraging the next generation to do better, be better, live better. From her Let's Move! campaign, encouraging young children to stay active and eat healthy, to her promotion of the album Songs for a Healthier America (featuring artists Ariana Grande, Travis Barker, Jordin Sparks and more), to now her Better Make Room campaign, FLOTUS has a vested interest in the lives and livelihood of our young people. And, like this rap, we are here for it!
Watch Obama rap her way into our hearts below.
