One of the first times I met @EricaLG , I told her I was negotiating my salary. She immediately told me what she made, and said "OK, here's what we're gonna do ..." Then laid out how I should ask for a raise.

The First Lady of the United States is a teacher, one who, as Second Lady, never stopped teaching. She intends to be the first FLOTUS in the role's 231-year history to pursue her career and keep a paying job while living in the White House. This matters.
