Michelle Obama Changing Stereotypes About Black Women


Michelle Obama is changing the stereotypes of black women, and invigorating many black female business owners, such as the Spiral Collective, a collection of businesses owned by black women of Detroit.

Obama spoke to to a collection of women earlier this month and clearly had the crowd excited with her presence at the gathering. In this time of video vixens parading scantily clad in many music videos, Michelle Obama is a refreshing change from a visibility standpoint. In the article supplied by the Detroit Free Press, many of the attendees openly spoke about their excitement in the fact that Obama is a browned skinned black woman who is creating a new standard of beauty as opposed to superficial standards that are often set by the media.

Like her husband, Michelle Obama is a role model desperately needed in the black community.

You might be interested in my recent post, Ain't I a Woman. In it I refer to an amazing article I found @ the Washington Post. Might find it interesting.
