Obama's mother

Really by sheer accident I came across a woman's blog who is a published magazine writer. She wrote about President Obama's mother in University of Hawai'i's alumni magazine. She was a graduate from there.

Regardless of what one thinks of Obama as a politician, I do think it's very cool for a national leader who was raised by an independent thinking, proactive woman in her community/public sphere.

(I'm also a big believer for men, if they are raised by a mother who herself is instrumental in social change even at a local level, exhibits independent thought and gives to family and community, it affects the guy's perception of women's capabilities life later on both in personal life and on the job.)

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

That was an interesting read. Thanks. It's a shame she died so young.

She's around same age as some of us when she died. (Like same age as me..)
