5 Successful Women in Digital Marketing
Legend has it that, one night, Michelle and Barack Obama went out to dinner at a restaurant. The chef treated them very well, knew who they were during the meal, and at the end of the meal, he thanked them for choosing his restaurant. At that moment, Michelle told Barack Obama: “I have to confess something. That man was my boyfriend in high school.” He commented: "Well if you had married him, today you would not be the First Lady.” To which she replied: “No, dear, don’t get confused. If I had married him, today he would be the president of the United States.”
While no one has ever verified whether this was a real story or not, the story has spread like wildfire on the Internet and is another example of Michelle Obama’s innovative nature and leadership tendencies that made her into one of the biggest influencers in the United States.
