US First Ladies, leading by example

Is it just ME, or have you, too, ever wished you could be a fly on the wall during certain events, or to hear certain conversations?

Well, today, I got my wish (always be careful what you wish for!)…I got to hear the exchange between two women, both held in very high esteem by millions around the world:  Former First lady of the United States, Laura Bush (George W: 2000 – 2008) and current First lady, Michelle Obama (Barack).

The two First ladies were brought together to speak at a Summit for African First Ladies.

 

The Bush Institute has launched this summit to support and empower First ladies from African nations to participate more fully and more freely in the advancement of their nations particularly, their women.  The hope is that this summit will become an annual event and that in bringing the wives of African leaders together, they may thrive in their roles more quickly.

I so enjoyed the exchange.  It honored the distinct style and flair of both women and they “got along” as well as any one could  have hoped.  Perhaps seen as opponents to each other, Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Bush clearly let it be known they were there to lead by example and to get along.  Women AND Ladies; WOW!   

Listen to the exchange via the link below and enjoy how these two powerful women  of opposite political perspectives come together for the benefit of other women and simply talk like girl friends.

 So, IS it just me, or do you, too, find something so real in a woman to woman exchange like this?  We all can get along!!
