Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
First lady Michelle Obama stopped by Miami yesterday afternoon to announce that the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the National Recreation and Park Association would be serving more fruits and vegetables during after-school programs as part of her anti-childhood obesity initiative.
FLOTUS, however, was joined by a secret surprise guest: Amy Poehler, the star of NBC’s Parks and Recreation.
“If you play a character with a certain career long enough people will actually treat you as if you have that job,” quipped Poehler in her introduction of the First Lady.
“Parks play a vital role in our lives …Just ask yourself this question: Without parks, where would we put all the swings? It would be in the middle of the road,” Poehler added.
She also added that the “Let’s Move” initiative has been more successful than her own fledgling “Let’s help me move” initiative.
