ΟΒΑΜΑ's news:Julia Roberts "Watch my conversation with Michelle Obama"

Hi there, I've just had the most incredible week—and I want to make sure you get to hear about it. Last night in Kuala Lumpur, Michelle Obama, Deborah Henry, and I took the stage at the Obama Foundation's Leaders: Asia-Pacific gathering. We talked about our lives, our careers, and the opportunities we all have to take the lead. And we also talked about the incredible young women we got to meet earlier that week in Vietnam. I hope you take some time to watch our discussion at obama.org.   The girls we heard from in Vietnam are some of the most inspiring girls you can hope to meet. Despite facing pressure from their communities—sometimes even from their own families—to put their education aside, they fight to stay in school and pursue a better life. Thankfully, they're not alone. We also got to meet with the local leaders who help form the Girls Opportunity Alliance, and who support these girls as they seek an education. Those qualities—perseverance, commitment, a belief that tomorrow can be brighter than today—are on full display here in Malaysia. I feel so lucky to have met so many inspiring people over the last week. Be sure to take a moment to hear about this incredible experience. —Julia   Your contribution helps empower rising leaders around the world: DONATE
