Valerie Jarrett

Valerie Jarrett is a senior White House officer and a Chicago lawyer and businesswoman. She is referred to as Mr. Obama’s spine. Ever since she was appointed as Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs after Barack Obama’s victory in the presidential elections, her job has been considered vague and unclear, except for the fact that she is the most influential person in the White House. She started off her career as a corporate and real-estate lawyer before plunging into politics and eventually becoming the most powerful black woman in the history of White House. Among all the officials working under Obama administration, she is probably the most controversial figure, mainly because of her closeness with the Obamas, which is why she is often regarded as a motherly figure or big sister to the Obamas. Her bonding with President Obama dates back to Chicago even before he thought of a career in politics. This Iranian-born communist sympathizer has served as a member and headed various educational and real estate organizations, apart from chairing and co-chairing a number of councils related to the protection of students from sexual assault and welfare of women and girls.

Condoleezza Rice

Condoleezza Rice is an American diplomat who served as the 66th United States Secretary of State. Often considered a role model for other African American women striving to reach great professional heights, Rice is the first African American woman to ever hold the position of the United States Secretary of States. A high achiever, she had served as the National Security Advisor during the firm term of President George Bush, becoming the first woman to do so. As a young girl growing up in the racially segregated Alabama, a political career was the last thing on her mind. She was musically inclined from childhood and took classes in ballet and piano with the aim of becoming a professional pianist. However, while at university she realized that she did not have it in her to become a professional musician and chose to study international politics instead. She became a professor of political science at the Stanford University and was selected the university’s provost owing to her brilliance and strong character. She had always been actively involved in politics and had served as the National Security Advisor before being selected the Secretary of State.
