First Lady Michelle Obama has a new television show with a purpose. Find out the deets plus the newest celebrity addition to President Obama's campaign when you read on...
TVOne is airing a special series featuring Michelle Obama and her campaign against childhood obesity. The show is called 'Lets Move with First Lady Michelle Obama' and will center around interviews with her and Roland Martin.
When asked about her show, the First Lady commented:
"I thought that, if I don’t realize that my habits and our cultural transitions are affecting our children, then where is everybody else on this issue? And having conversations across the country, [I was] finding that more families are struggling with this issue, not realizing the impact that it’s having, particularly on the African American community — one in three kids in this country is overweight or obese, but in our community, 40 percent of our kids are overweight or obese.”
This special will also feature interviews with U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin and showcases people who battle obesity in different ways. 'Lets Move With First Lady Michelle Obama' airs this Friday. Loves it!
President Obama realizes the power of hip-hop to influence the youth to vote. Earlier, he reportedly tapped Jay-Z to help his campaign for re-election in 2012. Now, the President is enlisting the help of Common. This Saturday, Common will perform in support of President Obama at Chicago's Hyde Park.
This is one of many events the Prez will host aimed to ramp up support for Democrats in local elections. The Roots will also be performing at this Saturday's rally.
Good strategy for O's camp?
