First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia arrived Monday in Liberia, beginning a three-nation trip to draw attention to the millions of girls around the world who are not in school.
The trip — with stops in Morocco and Spain — will highlight the first lady’s “Let Girls Learn” initiative aimed at helping adolescent girls get a quality education.
Below is what she told the young girls at Unification town:
“You don’t have to be somebody different to be important. You are important in your own right. Nobody wants you to act like a boy. People want and need to value you because of who you are because of your story because of your challenges. That’s what makes you unique” Michelle Obama
