Introduction For this assignment, I have chosen to write about two people who have both influenced American culture and positively impacted me as an individual. I chose two people that are complete opposites, but are actually pretty important to me. The male I chose to talk about was Yo Gotti and the female I chose was Michelle Obama.
Birthplace and Family Yo Gotti, born Mario Mims, is an American rapper. He was born in Memphis, Tennessee on May 19th, 1981. He grew up in Ridgecrest apartments located in Frayser community in Memphis. He was raised in a family of “hustlers”. His mother’s name is Geraldine Mims. In a video, she revealed that when Yo Gotti and his older brother, Anthony Mims, were younger, she boosted and sold …show more content…
I actually feel like he has had a positive effect on society. He started off rapping in Memphis and built a catalog in 2000 (Robertson 2016).

She obviously affected America in many ways. Not only did she always present herself like a lady, but she always showed that she was confident. She showed that a woman can do just as many things as a man. She shattered the glass ceiling. Not only is she the only First Lady in American history to have two Ivy League degrees, she is the only African American First Lady. Just think about that and how inspiring that is. She has positively impacted lots of people, especially Blacks and women. In a world where things may seem difficult for Black women or just Blacks in general to achieve, she has accomplished so
