Time 100: Michelle Obama, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, others named most influential people in the world 2019

April 18,2019
Share:

Michelle Obama has again made it to Time Magazine, American weekly news magazine  list of 100 most influential people for 2019.

Former U.S. first lady – Michelle Obama is one of the icons who made it to this list, she was profiled by world renowned, award winning American singer, songwriter, actress, director and record producer Beyoncé.

Read Michelle’s profile By Beyoncé Knowles-Carter:

Loving Michelle Obama wasn’t much of a choice. It was something that came naturally, because of how she carried herself. Because she resembled us and was moving in spaces where, as black Americans, we weren’t exactly meant to be, she seemed so powerful.

When I first met her, I was embraced by a warm, regal, confident woman who possessed a reassuring calm, on the eve of President Obama’s historic first Inauguration.

The way she looked, walked and spoke, in that warm but authoritative tone, we saw our mothers and sisters. She was strong and ambitious and spoke her mind without sacrificing honesty or empathy. That takes a lot of courage and discipline.

She would’ve been impactful simply by being in the White House, the first African-American First Lady. But she also used her position of power to improve the world around her. Her initiative Reach Higher, for example, encourages young people to complete their education past high school. She empowers all of us to interrogate our fears and surpass greatness.

I’m honored to know such a brilliant black woman who’s spoken about the sacrifice it takes to balance her passions while remaining a supportive partner and mother, and now a best-selling author with Becoming. She has continued to open herself up, even if it meant being criticized. She has continued to be a portrait of grace.

I am so grateful that my daughters and my son live in a world where Michelle Obama shines as a beacon of hope who inspires all of us to do better and to be better.

Knowles-Carter is a Grammy-winning musician
