Michelle Obama Teams Up With Spotify To Help Students Prepare For College

(Chuck Kennedy)

Former First Lady Michelle Obama showed that her investment in the future of the youth in our country is a real commitment by attending the Beating The Odds Summit at Washington, D.C.’s Dunbar High School Thursday.

Mrs. Obama, as well as executives from Spotify, including Troy Carter, VP of Creator Services, and Danielle Lee, VP of Partner Solutions, shared their experiences of overcoming obstacles and the lessons they have learned on their personal and professional journeys with 35 high school students, at a day-long event meant to inspire the college-bound students to consider majors or careers in the tech industry. Reach Higher at Civic Nation also participated in the event.
