Things we ❤️: @BarackObama just surprised students from the Girls Opportunity Alliance and @MBK_Alliance at the Chicago Bulls game! It capped off a great day where the students learned about the sports industry from @UnitedCenter , @NHLBlackhawks , and @ChicagoBulls staff.

Yesterday, we sat down with some phenomenal students from Chicago and our founder @MichelleObama to talk about the importance of empowering girls on the South Side and around the world. 💕

Growing up on the South Side made me who I am today, and I was thrilled to meet with some wonderful young women from Chicago to talk about our work with the @GirlsAlliance . I see myself in these girls—and I'm so proud of each of them.

“Today, more than 100 million girls are not in school. That’s a lot of empty desks…and a lot of dreams that are being cut short. The #GetHerThere campaign will move us one step closer to ensuring every girl can reach her full potential.” - @ObamaFoundation CEO, @ValerieJarrett
