Also on Tuesday morning, Mrs. Obama visited the Mulberry School for Girls, where she was greeted by a girls’ choir who performed “Something Inside So Strong,” and students who performed an interpretive dance to a reading of Maya Angelou‘s poem “Still I Rise.” (Mrs. Obama’s reaction to the performance? An excited pump of her fist, a source told Us.)

While at the Mulberry School, the First Lady attended a roundtable discussion about improving educational opportunities for girls worldwide. Obama told guests that she leads by example with her own daughters, and encourages them to use their voice for good. “Instead of tweeting what you had for lunch, why don’t you tweet what you learned at school and share it with girls around the world?” she told the audience.
