Quite a number of people, especially on my visits to the US, have told me I remind them of Michelle Obama (greatest compliment ever!). I always believed that was more about soul and spirit than actual looks, but based on this pic I am rethinking that! #RoleModel #AwesomeChick #WannaBeLikeHer #SheRocks ???
