Michelle Obama’s tenure as first lady of the United States may have ended in January, but she’s remained an influential member of the Washington, D.C. community, staying in the public eye ever since returning from a brief getaway with her husband, former President Barack Obama.

The former first lady has been busy since moving out of the White House, attending lunches with activists and celebrities like the rock group U2 in New York, speaking for hours on end at public schools across the capital, writing recommendations for young women to go to school and, yes, even hitting up SoulCycle classes with members of her Secret Service squad when she can fit in a quick workout.

Michelle Obama promised her supporters she would remain involved in the national conversation and an active member of society following her husband’s departure from the Oval Office. Meanwhile, the former president has only infrequently used his press office to refute President Donald Trump’s Twitter accusations of wiretapping his offices in Trump Towers and several other incidents.

The two have also announced the creation of The Obama Foundation, based in Chicago’s south side, with an agenda impacting the entire world. Their work on the developing project remains yet to be seen.
