In 2020, her influence remained high and she topped Gallup's poll of the most admired woman in America for the third year running.
In her memoir, Becoming, Obama describes her four primary initiatives as First Lady: Let's Move!, Reach Higher, Let Girls Learn, and Joining Forces.
Some initiatives of First Lady Michelle Obama included advocating on behalf of military families, helping working women balance career and family, encouraging national service, and promoting the arts and arts education. Obama made supporting military families and spouses a personal mission and increasingly bonded with military families.

The award is the highest honor given to homeless veteran advocates.
