When it comes to Michelle Obama, 56, there is no shortage of bold statements and she had the internet buzzing when she rocked a ‘VOTE’ necklace at the Democratic National Convention on August 17. The former first lady gave a speech at the DNC, which was conducted virtually, to endorse Joe Biden and urge people to vote. She made sure her message about voting got across, adding the necklace as the final detail to her compelling speech.

While her speech was powerful and moving, it was her necklace that said it all. She opted to wear The Original Spaced Letter Necklace from the company ByChari, which is a black-owned jewelry brand. The dainty gold necklace was a short choker that read “V-O-T-E” in spaced out letters that glistened every time she spoke.
