Back in February, the world was introduced to 7-year-old Kameria after her grandmother posted a video of her reacting to the news that President Obama would be leaving the Oval office in January 2017. 

The video went viral and Kameria got a shoutout from POTUS.

The first grader was all smiles this past Monday because she’s finally met the man with whom she shares a birthday.

Kameria and her family met were invited to the 2016 White House Easter Egg Roll where she got to the President and First Lady Obama and presented him with an adorable hand-written letter introducing herself to the Commander-in-Chief. 

While Kameria will see many more President’s in her lifetime, we know saying goodbye to this one is tough!
