Today Is Michelle Obama’s 54th Birthday

It’s Michelle Obama‘s b-day and there has never been a better reason to celebrate.

We can’t even begin to describe how grateful we are to have lived in a time that saw Michelle Obama, in all her melanin-y splendor, take residence in the White House, a house built by slaves as she so poignantly reminded us, and elegantly represent her people.

From all of us here at Bossip we’d like to wish Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama a very, very happy birthday.

Flip the page a few times to smell some of the flowers that Mrs. Obama is getting on social media.
