Former first lady Michelle Obama will return to the national spotlight with a speaking engagement at an architecture conference in Orlando, Fla., later this month.
She will sit down for a “conversation” in the afternoon of April 27 at the event held by the American Institute of Architects. No other details on the subject of the discussion were shared.
“Michelle Robinson Obama served as First Lady of the United States from 2009 to 2017, transforming the position and becoming a role model, champion, and inspiration for women, families, and young people across America and around the world,” says the webpage on which Obama was announced as a speaker.
The website also highlights four initiatives launched and led by Obama during her time in the White House, including “Joining Forces” and “Let’s Move!”
It is unclear whether this is a paid speaking engagement. AIA did not immediately return a request for comment.
Obama has remained largely out of the public eye since her husband, Barack Obama, left the White House on Jan. 20. The two have taken up residence in the Kalorama neighborhood in Washington, D.C., while their youngest daughter finishes high school. Barack Obama is reportedly spending a month in French Polynesia to work on his memoir. Michelle Obama has also signed on for a book deal.
