Michelle Obama (“Renaissance”)
As the first lady of America, Michelle Obama transformed the lives of thousands of people, most notable women, girls and people of color. Because Barack had a nickname starting with “R”, Michelle had to pick one that began with the same letter. The term “Renaissance” was selected as a nod to the way she incorporates her broader vision of positive change in everything she does. The couple’s two children were also given names starting with “R”, continuing a long-standing oval office tradition.
