The First Lady and rapper Wale are joining forces for a good cause
Next Thursday, the First Lady Michelle Obama is teaming up with DC native and recording artist Wale for an initiative that promotes higher education. The all-day event will feature the Flotus on a panel with the Wale, Manuel Contreras ( rising senior at Brown University), Education Secretary Arne Duncan and will be moderated by E!
