Beyoncé Hails Michelle Obama As A Role Model For Black People – AccessPressMag.com, welcome you!
Former first lady Michelle Obama received a special tribute from one of her most famous admirers, Beyoncé, as part of Time magazine’s issue honoring the 100 most influential people of the year.
She then described meeting Obama for the first time when she performed at President Barack Obama’s inauguration in 2009.
“The way she looked, walked and spoke, in that warm but authoritative tone, we saw our mothers and sisters,” she wrote.
Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z have since become good friends with the Obamas, and were among the former president’s biggest celebrity supporters and fundraisers during his presidency.
Time often finds notable people who have personal connections to those on its annual “most influential” list and asks them to write tributes to the honorees.
Beyoncé hailed Michelle Obama as a “beacon of hope” for her three children, Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir.
