To help promote her "Let's Move" campaign and raise awareness on childhood obesity across America, Michelle Obama will be releasing a hip-hop inspired album later this year.
The project aligns Obama's "Let's Move" campaign with the Partnership For A Healthier America and Hip Hop Public Health, with their intent to fuse entertainment with awareness.
"We believe that music built on cultural cues can inspire kids and families to make healthy choices," says Dr. Olajide Williams, founder of Hip Hop Public Health. "Its ability to immerse and transport the mind is a great attribute for any educational tool. Throughout history, music has been a great teacher and motivator, from ABC’s and nursery rhymes to religious hymns and national anthems. It is time to harness this power for health."
