Former President Barack Obama’s wife wrote: “Happy birthday to the woman who taught me to think for myself, use my voice, and show up authentically in this world. Your belief that I mattered even when I was just a little girl led me to where I am today. Thank you for being the ultimate role model. Love you, mom.”
