Barack or Michelle Obama gracing a magazine cover isn’t big news anymore or is it?  If you’ve ever seen a cover of Oprah’s O magazine, you’d know that Gayle’s BFF rides solo on every single cover—that is until she shared the April 2009 cover with the First Lady.

Here’s what’s mind boggling about this:

1.       it’s already gangster that Oprah splashes her face on every single issue,

2.       it’s kind of a pimp slap to the haters that she can switch it up whenever she feels like it,

3.       it’s great to see Black beautiful women highlighting and uplifting each other!

Oprah gets a lot of Flack for some of her actions (building a school in Africa), but no one can deny that she was one of the first Black leaders to support, endorse and promote the Obama team.  Oprah, Barack and Michelle are the faces of true hope and progress.  It could be fair to say that we’re beginning to see a new breed of Black leadership; younger, sexier and more powerful than ever.
