Don’t think that Michelle Obama is the only first lady in Washington, DC. We have a sunkissed mayor in the district as well and his wife, Michelle Fenty is worthy to be called a sunkissed mom. She's an accomplished attorney, wife to D.C. mayor Adrian Fenty, and mother of three.
She was born and raised in London, the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, before moving to New York City with her family at age 18. She has three young children--nine-year-old twin sons Matthew and Andrew, and 11-month-old daughter Aerin.
She serves as president of the advisory board for Capital Breast Care Center, which provides free mammograms to underserved, low-income women in the District.
"The breast cancer mortality rate in Washington, D.C. is among the highest in the country, and African-American women are twice as likely to die from the disease," she says, explaining why she got involved with the organization more than two years ago.
"Given those two factors, I thought that it was important for me to do whatever I can to let residents know this, and provide mammogram screenings for women in the District."
