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 o
f 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."
