At the 5th ‘Black Girls Rock‘ annual awards show that held at the NJPAC Prudential Hall in Newark, New Jersey, Michelle Obama shared a message of education for girls with one that also stressed on empowering black women. The first lady alongside Jada Pinkett Smith, Erykah Badu, Cicely Tyson, Ava DuVernay, Nadia Lopez and Helene Gayle were honorees at the event on Saturday night.
Obama said to the audience, which included several young black girls, to ignore voices that suggested that they were ‘not good enough.’
