Key Takeaways from Michelle Obama's Speech at the DNC

Michelle Obama delivered a powerful speech subtly slamming former president Donald Trump and praising Kamala Harris as a presidential candidate. Here are some important takeaways from her speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

Michelle Obama opened her address by stating, that the "magical" feeling of "hope" is spreading across the country, "America, hope is making a comeback."

Michelle Obama praised Kamala Harris and her mother's legacy. "Kamala Harris is more than ready for this moment. She is one of the most qualified people ever to seek the office of the presidency."

“For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us. See, his limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard-working and highly educated, successful people who happen to be Black,” Michelle Obama said criticising Trump's post about Barack and Michelle Obama.


In her speech, Michelle Obama added further as a reference to Trump's comment, "Who's gonna tell him that the job he's currently seeking might just be one of those black jobs?"

"No one has a monopoly on what it means to be an American, no one," Michelle Obama stated referring to Trump's comment on Harris and Democrats.

International Day of Yoga: The 6 Don'ts of Yoga

Before you start practising Yoga every day, here are six major don'ts you should always keep in mind.

Don't overexert right from the beginning. Start with easier poses and gradually shift to challenging ones.


Weather plays a key role too. Avoid doing Yoga during extreme conditions, when it's too hot or too cold.


Never perform Yoga after having meals. Wait for at least 2-3 hours.


Avoid doing Yoga wearing tight clothes. Tight upper back clothing can restrict the movement of the rib cage.


It is advised to take a shower after Yoga but not immediately. Let your body cool down first.


Do not do the 'feet up' (inverse) poses while menstruating. You can always perform simple breathing and relaxation poses though.
