''It was a pleasure meeting @FLOTUS Michelle Obama earlier this evening at her broadway event about girl empowerment,'' Aisha tweeted yesterday.
Both First Ladies joined broadway stars and Stephen Colbert in a charity event which was created to coincide with the gathering of world leaders in New York for the opening of the 71st UN general assembly.
At the event, Michelle pledged to keep pushing for women's right even after leaving the White House before an audience of New York schoolgirls and spouses of heads of state.
Michelle and her husband, Barack Obama had launched the Let Girls Learn 18 months ago, the initiative seeks to reinforce the urgency, especially in underdeveloped countries, of creating and enhancing educational opportunities for a group under particular stress: teenage girls.
