Get ready Instagram users, the first lady has joined a new social media program.

As of Thursday morning @michelleobama is up and running with over 20,000 followers, and counting (and so far, the first lady has chosen to follow only one user: @whitehouse).

Early Thursday afternoon @flotus sent out a tweet to her 410,000 followers to show off her first Instagram photo from her trip with President Obama in Africa.

Since posting her first photo, the first lady’s team has gone a little Instagram-happy posting four more photos from the school visit and one from Goree Island.
