Michelle Obama has received some major celebrity support for her education initiative dedicated to supporting the education of girls worldwide.
"Called This Is For My Girls, the song will be performed live at the South by Southwest (SXSW) music, film and tech festival in Texas on Wednesday as Obama pushes her Let Girls Learn campaign,” said The Straits Times.
Obama announced her Let Girls Learn initiative in March 2015 and proceeds from the new single will go to the campaign, which Obama said is in the “action” phase.
Written by Oscar-nominated songwriter Diane Warren, the single is intended to be an anthem fro the 62 million girls in need of education worldwide.
Clarkson and Monae aren’t the only powerful female singers to lend their vocals to the song.
"Along with Rowland, Missy Elliott, Zendaya, Janelle Monae, Lea Michele, Kelly Clarkson, Jadagrace, and Beyoncé protégées Chloe & Halle lend vocals to “This Is for My Girls,” which was released on iTunes today,” said UpTownMagazine

Kelly Clarkson Won't Be Fat Shamed, Tells British Twitter Troll "I'm Awesome"
You can't put this girl down!
Kelly Clarkson had an amazing comeback for the British TV personality who called her fat in a series of unpleasant tweets — "Say what you will, I'm awesome!"
Clarkson, who gave birth to her first child River Rose in June last year, appeared on the British TV programme The Graham Norton Show in February, and renowned criticizer (and also the so-called Most Hated Woman in Britain) Katie Hopkins decided she had the right to comment on the singer's appearance.
"Jesus, what happened to Kelly Clarkson? Did she eat all of her backing singers? Happily I have wide-screen. #grahamnorton," she tweeted. But even when an army of followers snapped back with an explanation that the former American Idol winner had only recently given birth, Hopkins continued her abuse.
"Look chubsters, Kelly Clarkson had a baby a year ago. That is no longer baby weight. That is carrot cake weight. Get over yourselves," the sharp-tongued reality TV star continued.
Happily, Clarkson has the confidence and grace to let the nasty comments flow right over her, and had the best comeback imaginable for Hopkins when asked by Heat magazine how the comments had affected her.
"She's tweeted something nasty about me? That's because she doesn't know me. I'm awesome! It doesn't bother me. It's a free world. Say what you will," sunny Clarkson retaliated.
"I've just never cared what people think," she continued. "It's more if I'm happy and I'm confident and feeling good, that's always been my thing. And more so now, since having a family — I don't seek out any other acceptance."
