[size=18pt]Canada’s Best Kept Secret … Black Woman Governor General[/size]



President  Obama took his first trip outside of the states on February 19, to go visit Canadian Governor General Michaelle Jean.  Our photo essay  is a beautiful sight for anyone to lay eyes on.  At 51, this woman is the first black Governor General in Canada and only answers to the Queen and Prime Minister.  The official announcement of her appointment was made on August 4, 2005 and she took office September 27.  She was raised in Quebec, but was a  refugee of Haiti before going to Canada in 1968.

Interesting right?  Check her out with our President:

I've known about this lady for a while now. Her predeccessor was Asian, I think.

Besides, she's married to a white guy.

Really, I didn't know that; I just found out about her.

.

tpia:

hope that doesnt diminish your high regard for her?

Not at all, I support interracial and inter-ethnic marriages 100%.

How can you put Obama on the same pedestal as this impotent chair warmer who is a relic of Canada's link with the British monarchy.

.

Aww. . . .So Pretty!! and a Great Fashion sense

Love the Coat esp and the suits!

Sorry, but they appeared on the same pedestal, albeit a physical one.

What's you point? You don't like the fact that Canada has a queen?

We know she is not the head of government but it sure feels nice seeing two black faces in positions of power!

tpia:

even when it involves black women and non-black men?

Some of you naija dudes seem to have a problem with it. Never mind the fact that many of you date other races while condemning black women who do the same.

and as 4play just confirmed.

Don't mind 4 Play, he's just unhappy with Her Majesty. God bless the queen!

I support all man-woman hookups or marriages 100%. And I have no problem with Naija babes dating Indian, White or Brazilian men. My good friend in grad school is half Yoruba and half African-American, and she's married to a Chinese surgeon living in California.

Isn't her post ceremonial, it's not as if she's negotiating NAFTA with Obama.

Inferiority complex dey worry black people too mush.

I must confess, I am just hearing of her for the first time.

Same here!!!

I luv her already tho. . . .she looks like shes in so much control of things, i see POWER all over this woman!!!

Smart dress sense BTW!!

What a beautiful sight and before you know it, we have a Black British prime minister (dream on son, dream on).

The ady gat things going for her, doing her job very well, I loved her from day one

I'd also never heard of her prior to reading the thread.
