Michelle Obama Shares Spotify Playlist For International Day Of The Girl

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. The playlist, which was made for International Day of the Girl which is now observed on October 11, features “girl power” tunes that the Mrs. Obama listens to everyday and sharing with the world what type of music she listens to when she is not in the spotlight.

Some highlight tunes on the playlist includes Beyonce’s “Run The World (Girls),” Alicia Key’s “Girl On Fire,” and Demi Lovato’s “Confident.” Mrs. Obama also highlights old yet famous soulful tunes which include Diana Ross’ “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” Aretha Franklin’s “Respect,” and Ms. Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing).”

This Spotify playlist follows Mrs. Obama’s campaign for women called “Let Girls Learn,” which has an expansion for girls around the world to get an education and also aims at American girls to seize every opportunity that is bestowed before them.

International Day of the Girl was designated by the United Nations to promote more awareness for gender inequality around the globe.
