Not since the days of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy has an American first lady captivated the world like Michelle Obama. As did Kennedy, she epitomizes both style and substance, but as an African-American, has the added panache of being history making. Her secret service moniker is Renaissance, a fitting name, given the way she has led scores of women of all races to rethink their lives and how they can grab hold of all of the opportunities the world has to offer and even make their own. As the general election season heats up, the first lady of the United States, aka FLOTUS, will be very much on the public stage, whether it’s to promote her causes or her husband’s re-election campaign. Watch her in motion. – Joyce Jones
