Michelle Obama inspiring ladies around the world
Sunday, May 3rd, 2009Michelle Obama has taken quite well to her first lady role. She’s been telling people how it is — need to eat healthier, so plant a garden at the White House. She hugged Queen Elizabeth when she met her because it was the nice thing to do. Queens don’t hug just anybody.
Fact: She was her husband’s supervisor when they first met.
This CNN article explains that Lady Obama being dark-skinned is a big effing deal to other people, people who grow up learning women are lesser, and women who aren’t white are even more so.
The women [Heather Ferreira] meets in the squalid streets where “Slumdog Millionaire” was filmed are often treated with contempt, she says. They’re considered ugly if their skin and hair are too dark. They are deemed “cursed” if they only have daughters. Many would-be mothers even abort their children if they learn they’re female.
Yet lately she says Indian women are getting another message from the emergence of another woman thousands of miles away. This woman has dark skin and hair. She walks next to her husband in public, not behind. And she has two daughters. But no one calls her cursed. They call her Michelle Obama, the first lady. cnn
Ferreira is a program officer for an HIV-prevention program run by World Vision and works around people in Mumbai, India. Her observation of the Obamas is about their children: they only have daughters and the First Lady isn’t shunned for not having a son.
While she has been chided for wearing super expensive shoes to charity events focused on helping less fortunate folks and her style is scrutinized at every appearance, this lady is on track for awesome. Yeah, the Obamas’ PR people push how “normal” and hip the family is, but this woman DOES all these things. She’s out there helping and still hangs with her kids and husband. She sneaks out of the White house with her secret service guys to get fast food. She’s kind of cool.

Sunday, April 19th, 2009Some fishermen accidentally caught a megamouth shark in their nets. it died while they were trying to get it out, so they ate it. Yes. Why waste meat? PS this species of shark has been seen 41 times. Ever. This was the 41st sighting.
Megamouths are filterfeeders and basically hang out with their mouths open to grab plankton and other tiny tasty items.
