Meryl Streep and Michelle Obama’s 2015 More magazine feature was the first time the duo paired up for Meryl’s campaign for women’s equal rights, and now they’re at it again.
As part of Let Girls Learn, a US government initiative focused on helping girls access quality education, the actress is slated to join First Lady Michelle Obama, her daughters, Malia and Sasha, and mother, Marian Robinson, on their trip to Africa.
According to a White House press release, the Obama clan, Meryl and actress Freida Pinto will be travelling to various countries, includes Liberia and Morocco, to discuss the “challenges many girls in the region face in getting a quality education”. The First Lady will also meet with Liberia’s president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, to chat about educational barriers girls face in the country at a Peace Corps Training facility where young women are participating in a Girls Leading Our World camp.
