Wale
to join the First Lady in push for better education
Michelle
Obama has relentlessly made the country aware of her commitment making quality
education ubiquitous, and on Thursday, D.C. native Wale will join her in those
valiant efforts.
According
to an official White House press release, FLOTUS will join Wale and several
scholars on a panel at a White House summit, where they will address over 100
students that “have overcome substantial obstacles to persist through high
school and make it to college.”
Wale
had this to say about the huge opportunity:
I’m beyond honored & grateful to be
involved in the First Lady’s “Reach Higher” initiative & to have the opportunity
to sit down with her, as well as perform for the kids of D.C. I believe that
the youth are the first step in creating a better country, so to be involved in
a program that aims to enrich their lives is truly the greatest reward,” says Wale. “Having grown up in Washington, D.C., being
invited to the White House by the First Lady is a dream come true.
Thank you to Mrs. Obama & her entire
staff for this opportunity.
