Michelle Obama is the ultimate balancing act. She can now add 'design philanthropy' to her title, next to First Lady of the United States. The FLOTUS has kept busy this week with long hours developing each of her youth outreach initiatives. In addition, Michelle made a surprise guest appearance on Project Runway Junior with an inspiring message for the rising fashion designers.
First Lady Michelle Obama is creating her own lane with several new projects this week. As covered by Mstars, she made major headlines with the drop of her rap song "Go to College" featuring Saturday Night Live comic, Jay Pharaoh. To top things off, Mrs. Obama made a surprise, virtual guest appearance on Lifetime's Project Runway to task the participants with a special mission.
In a 30-second clip, Michelle Obama touches the hearts of each contestant by explaining that the day's winner will have the chance to work alongside her to design a back pack for underprivileged girls as part of her Let Girls Learn initiative. Let Girls Learn is Michelle Obama's campaign dedicated to opening doors for girls to learn around the world. The organization's focus is on raising awareness and affecting change for the 62 million adolescent girls who are denied the opportunity to get a formal education.
The young fashion designers were filled with glee at the opportunity to use their graft for a great cause. Take a look at the contestant reactions to Michelle Obama's surprise guest appearance.
Catch Project Runway Junior on Liftetime Tuesdays at 9pm EST.
