President Barack Obama’s time in office is coming to a close, and Essence is honoring the POTUS, as well as First Lady Michelle Obama, by making them the cover stars of their October issue. In the cover story, which arrives on September 9, the Obamas discuss the importance of their time in the White House and the future of the nation.
The American First family, Barack and Michelle Obama cover the October, special collector’s issue of Essence magazine, in which they talked about watching their girls grow up in the White House as well as the legacy they hope to leave behind. Michelle Obama said:
“Some of my fondest memories of the White House are just being with the girls on a summer night and walking the dogs around the South Lawn, talking and listening to them.”
