Michelle Obama to speak at charity dinner in Edinburgh

Former First Lady Michelle Obama will participate in a moderated conversation at a dinner in Edinburgh on July 17th at the EICC with philanthropy and business leaders. Mrs. Obama is a lawyer, writer, and was the first African-American First Lady of the United States. 

Hosted by philanthropy The Hunter Foundation (thehunterfoundation.co.uk), all profits from the event will be invested in hundreds of charities across Scotland.

Sir Tom Hunter, founder of The Hunter Foundation, commented; “From a brick bungalow on the South Side of Chicago to the White House has been an epic, historic journey and we look forward to hearing about that journey and Mrs. Obama’s future path.

“It is more than an honour to welcome First Lady Michelle Obama, following so closely on from the 44th President’s visit of last year and we are delighted she accepted our invitation.”
