How Beyonce and Michelle Obama became BFFs: The story behind the touching letter
After giving birth to her daughter Blue Ivy, Houston's own Beyonce seems to have had some relaxing time off to enjoy and discover a newfound appreciation for motherhood.
She's taken to her newly created Tumblr account and posted a hand-written thank you letter to First Lady Michelle Obama. In it she states that, "Michelle is the ultimate example of a truly strong African American woman . . . she builds and nurtures her family, while also looking out for so many millions . . . "
Michelle Obama isn't only a role model of Beyonce's but also a strong potential future figure in her child's life too. The music superstar closed the letter with, "I am proud to have my daughter grow up in a world where she has people like you to look up to." Beyonce shouldn't sell herself short because she's a strong female role model for millions as well.
Her connection to the Obamas has continued to grow ever since she serenaded the couple at the 2009 inaugural ball, supported the President's campaign, and then later partnered with Michelle for Let's Move to spread awareness about childhood obesity.
