Cultural icon and future icon, an amazing role model

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

Cultural icon Michelle Obama and future icon Zaya Wade are dropping gems on "becoming" yourself.

Dwyane Wade's daughter and the former first lady joined virtually in a video shared to Instagram Thursday, following the release of Obama's young reader's edition of "Becoming" Tuesday. They shared their advice for navigating different versions of yourself, stepping outside of your comfort zone and embracing the new.

"I'm just like nervous, but really excited. It's like I'm meeting an idol", Wade said before asking Obama's advice for teens wanting to thrive. "I am literally meeting an idol".

"I want young people to practice embracing the new, because I don't want them to ever feel stuck in their lives and I think that you are the kind of individual that will never feel stuck", Obama said.

"Your advice is impeccable", Wade said.

Wade is very familiar with embracing the new: Last year the then-12-year-old came out as transgender. Her father revealed his daughter's announcement during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" last February, detailing the support he and wife Gabrielle Union gave Zaya when she said she wanted to be referred to using female pronouns.

"I am just so proud of you being just an amazing role model and embracing your truth", Obama said.
