Melania Trump will focus her long-awaited first lady agenda, which is to be revealed Monday in a Rose Garden event, on more than just one topic, according to CNN.
"As has been evidenced by the many events Mrs. Trump has participated in during her time as first lady, her focus will be the overall well-being of children," the first lady's spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham told CNN. "Something unique though: She has not narrowed her platform down to just one topic as has been done in the past.
"Mrs. Trump wishes to help the next generation by creating change through awareness on a variety of issues that affect children."
Melania Trump's first speech comes in the 16th month of her White House tenure and is expected to finally give detail to her generally stated goal of aiding the well-being of children.
Former first lady Michael Obama's "Let's Move!" came 11 months in, while Laura Bush's "Ready to Read, Ready to Learn" came in month six.
Trump's agenda for children has already included visits to children's hospitals and schools and an invitation to 12 children for a White House listening session.
"I always believe that you need to treat each other with respect and kindness and compassion, but also stay true to yourself," she told students in a visit to Michigan, per CNN. "Just listen to your heart, but be yourself."
In March, Melania spoke about protecting children against Internet abuse, including security and cyberbullying – amid repeated attacks for hypocrisy amid President Donald Trump's tough rhetoric on Twitter.
"I am well aware that people are skeptical of me discussing this topic," she said, per CNN. "I have been criticized for my commitment to tackling this issue, and I know that will continue. But it will not stop me from doing what I know is right."
