"Oh hey! Look who just joined Snapchat."

By adding “MichelleObama” to your Snapchat friends list, users will now be able to follow a day in the life of the first lady on the app.

She plans to document and promote her trip to Liberia, Morocco, and Spain for her Let Girls Learn initiative to encourage education for girls.

According to the White House, the account will be used to give "young people a fun way to follow her trip.”

She feels that Snapchat will be the perfect platform to promote girls' education — one of her signature issues.

Along with her daughters, Sasha and Malia, Mrs. Marian Robinson, Actress Meryl Streep and "Slumdog Millionaire" star, Freida Pinto, are also scheduled to join her in Africa. The trip will begin at the end of June.

The FLOTUS has already been seen having fun with filters and dancing on the app, so be sure to catch her story to experience the trip.

Snapchat, a mobile app where posts disappear within 24 hours, has more than 100 million active users, most under the age of 25.
