Melania Trump is indeed the former First Lady of the United States, serving from 2017 to 2021. Born on April 26, 1970, in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, she became the second First Lady born outside of the United States and the only one to become a naturalized U.S. citizen ¹.


As First Lady, Melania focused on issues affecting children, particularly through her BE BEST initiative. Launched in 2018, BE BEST aimed to promote a world for children based on healthy living, kindness, and respect. The campaign had three pillars: well-being, social media, and opioid abuse ².


Melania was also an advocate for children's health, education, and welfare. She visited hospitals, schools, and organizations, both domestically and internationally, to raise awareness about issues affecting children. Her travels took her to over nine countries, including Africa, where she promoted education and healthcare for children ³.


Today, Melania Trump is one of the four living former First Ladies, along with Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, and Michelle Obama ⁴.
