Black leaders, artists, and change-makers have shaped our culture since this country’s founding. Their contributions are so powerful, and I hope you'll join me in celebrating their legacies in #BlackRenaissance.

Every part of our stories—no matter how small or fleeting—has meaning and value. While working on Becoming, I learned a lot of important truths and realized that, more often than not, it was the simplest moments that brought the most meaning to my journey. #IAmBecoming

Michelle and I are thinking of everyone across the country braving the winter storms this week. Here’s an overview of how you can help—or, if you’re in Texas, where you can go to stay warm or get support.
Happy Valentine’s Day, @barackobama! Life is always brighter when I'm by your side. ❤️
Here’s the trailer for #WafflesAndMochi! I hope you’ll join us on @Netflix on March 16 to meet all my new friends and get inspired to start your own kitchen adventures with your family.
Tomorrow is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, so I’m celebrating the impact of women scientists around the world—including the next generation of women in #STEM like Nimon, a student from the @GirlsAlliance community in Kenya.
Watch her inspiring story. ❤️
I’m also excited to work with @PHAnews to help kids build healthy habits and help families in need cook with fresh ingredients together at home. I hope you'll join us by watching on March 16! #WafflesAndMochi 💕
I’m beyond thrilled to share that on March 16, I’ll be launching a new show on @Netflix called Waffles + Mochi! I'm excited for families and children everywhere to join us on our adventures as we discover, cook, and eat delicious food from all over the world.
Wow! Thank you @Skating_Starr—this is such a powerful performance. To all the Black kids out there striving for excellence in the face of those who doubt you: Keep going. Keep telling the story of your experience. We see you. ❤️
One of the highlights of sharing my story in Becoming has been hearing from people all over the world, especially young people. So I want to put a call out to every person who’s reading Becoming or has already finished it to share your thoughts and your questions!
School counselors have been such an important support system for our students as they’ve navigated this difficult year. I couldn’t be more grateful for their work—this year and every year. Congrats to @ASCAtweets's 2021 School Counselor of the Year, Olivia Carter! #ReachHigher

What an honor to be on @TIME 's new cover. From the interview: "In all the forms of expression of human life, we’re seeing that artistry be informed by the Black experience. I can’t imagine anything more exciting than that."
Like so many of you, I was moved as I watched @TheAmandaGorman read her poem at the inauguration. I first met her back in 2016, and over the years, I've seen her continue to inspire people with her words. I'm so proud of the young woman she has become.
Quoted @ObamaFoundation
After an extensive federal regulatory review, we are excited to announce the Obama Presidential Center will break ground on the South Side of Chicago in 2021.
Watch President @BarackObama reflect on the news.
As a girl from the South Side, I can’t wait to bring the Obama Presidential Center to life. It’s a chance to bring people together, foster the next generation of leaders, and invest in a community with so much potential. Thank you to every Chicagoan who helped make this possible!
💃🏾 I’m so excited to share that we are releasing new young readers’ and paperback editions of Becoming on March 2! Sharing my story was one of the most freeing experiences of my life, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to keep the conversation going with all of you. #IAmBecoming
Ryleigh & Zayden, you nailed it! 😍💕

I’ll miss her dearly, but I smile knowing how many people she inspired, just like me, to walk a little taller, speak a little more freely, and live a little bit more like God intended.
