The artistry is magnificent! Thank You, she! ☮️💙 🌻🕯️🕊️

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosbyâ€”a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artistâ€”to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and weâ€™re thrilled that it will be on display at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
