For the past eight years, First Lady Michelle Obama has been a shining example of what Black excellence, motherhood and love look like. She’s been what power, elegance and strength are and she’s definitely become certified style goals.
Since some of us aren’t quite ready to let go (let’s be honest, none of us are ready to let go), Jimmy Fallon did what he does best and enlisted the help of the Chicago native to give fans the surprise of a lifetime.
Lucky viewers of his Tonight Show on NBC were asked to record special video goodbye messages for FLOTUS to talk about all she’s meant to them during her time in the White House. What they didn’t know is that the First Lady was waiting behind a curtain, listening to their heartfelt words and waiting to greet them with a hug.
The segment aired on the nightly talk show just a day after President Obama’s Farewell Speech in Chicago and even reunited Mrs. Obama with a fellow Princeton Tiger alumna.
Get your tissues ready, this one will bring on the tears.
