Michelle Obama announced that her first television series will live on IGTV earlier this week. Complex reports the series will premiere later this year.
The series will be centered around how four college students survive through their freshman year. The series is being produced through Obama’s initiative Reach Higher, which helps students “get to and through college.”
In the Instagram announcement, Michelle Obama said: “The first year of college is exciting, but also a little nerve-racking. As a first-generation college student myself, I know how intimidating it can be to try to navigate through a new place and make new friends, all while trying to figure out who you are and who you want to be. That’s why I’m so excited that @reachhigher is teaming up with @attndotcom to share the stories of four first-year college students: Robert, Linette, Regan, and Haseeb. Can’t wait for you all to meet them and learn more about what taking that leap really feels like, day in and day out. Stay tuned!”
Aside from this series, Michelle and Barack Obama are producing a Netflix documentary titled, Crip Camp, which is also slated to premiere this year.
Will you be tuning in?
