The First Lady Must Choose A Cause to Champion
The First Lady is known for championing for social causes that are important to her. First Lady Dolley Madison started this tradition back in the 1800s, championing charities that helped orphans, setting the tone for future First Ladies, who often choose causes that help children. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt took this duty a step further by hiring her own staff, holding press conferences, and traveling often with the sole purpose of fighting for equality. In recent years, First Lady Michelle Obama founded the “Let’s Move!” Initiative to encourage kids to live a physically active lifestyle, while First Lady Melania Trump started the “Be Best” initiative to educate children to use social media responsibly and encourage them to live a healthy lifestyle.
