In her biography, Michelle relates that a few weeks after arriving in Princeton, her roommate's white parents asked to change her apartment. For the first time, Michelle realized that her color made her less worthy of that prestigious university to the eyes of others.

He urged girls to choose books before boyfriends, because education is important, while crushes can wait. And he met Alexis Bledel, Rory of A Mom for a Friend, to promote the Let Girls Learn initiative.

Michelle tells us: be respected, make your voice heard. We are women, besides legs or makeup there is a great desire for revenge and respect. Sometimes our lipsticks hide a scream and our heels a strength waiting to be revealed. Let's do it, and let's do it together.
