Michelle Obama’s playlist release is part of her “Let Girls Learn” project.
Michelle Obama, who has pushed for women’s rights and education during her years as First Lady, is now turning the volume up in the form of her first ever Spotify playlist.
Her husband released two playlists of his own on the channel that included hits such as “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg” by the Temptations, “So Much Trouble in the World” by Bob Marley and “Superpower” by Beyonce featuring Frank Ocean. She created the playlist to celebrate the fourth annual October 11th holiday, a day designated by the United Nations to promote awareness of gender inequality around the world.
The “girl power” expressed on the songs “No Scrubs” by TLC and “Survivor” by Destiny’s Child can also be heard, according to Access Hollywood.
