HEART WHEN SHE MET HER IDOL
PARKER CURRY AND ALL OF
MICHELLE OBAMA'S PORTRAIT THEN
DANCING WITH THE FIRST LADY
DURING THEIR MEETING.
SPEAKING WITH THE TWO-YEAR-
OLD AND HER MOTHER AFTER THEY
MET MRS. OBAMA.
IT'S A QUEEN.
YES.
THAT TO?
PARKER CURRY, TWO-YEAR-OLD
VISITOR TO THE NATIONAL
PORTRAIT GALLERY BECAME AN
INTERNET SENSATION LAST WEEK
AFTER A PHOTO OF HER STARING UP
AT THE FORMER FIRST LADY'S
PORTRAIT STOLE THE HEARTS OF
THOUSANDS.
SHE EVENTUALLY CAUGHT MICHELLE
OBAMA'S ATTENTION WHO INVITED
HER FAN OVER FOR A VISIT.
YOU MET MICHELLE DIDN'T YOU?
YES.
WHAT DID YOU DO?
THEY HAD A DANCE PARTY TO
PARKER'S FAVORITE SONG.
THE FORMER FIRST LADY SHOULD
THE MOMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND
SAID PARKER I'M SO GLAD I HAD
THE CHANCE TO MEET YOU TODAY,
KEEP DREAMING BIG FOR YOURSELF
AND ONE DAY I WILL PROBABLY
LOOK UP AT A PORTRAIT OF YOU.
PARKER'S MOTHER JESSICA SAYS
SHE TOLD PARKER SHE WAS
BEAUTIFUL AND SMART AND SHE WAS
SO HAPPY TO MEET HER, OBAMA
SAID SHE HOPES HER PORTRAIT
WILL INSPIRE YOUNG WOMEN OF
COLOR.
TO IN YEARS AHEAD WILL COME
TO THIS PLACE AND LOOK UP AND
SEE AN IMAGE OF SOMEONE WHO
LOOKS LIKE THEM IN THIS GREAT
AMERICAN INSTITUTION.
.
TO LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY
WHEN YOU CAN SHOW HER THE
PICTURES AND VIDEOS.
I CAN'T WAIT BECAUSE SHE
CAN'T GRASP IT RIGHT NOW BUT
WHEN SHE IS 10 OR 15 SHE CAN
LOOK BACK AND SAY, I ON OUT
WITH MICHELLE OBAMA.
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
WHEN YOU GROW UP?
WOULD YOU RATHER BE FIRST LADY
OR PRESIDENT?
PRESIDENTS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
BEAUTIFUL.
