CHICAGO (CBS) --  An update now on a remarkable young woman we first told you about a few years ago.

Her name is Raven Smith, and she's a proud Chicagoan. Back in 2016, she was a Morgan Park High School student. Raven created a t-shirt promoting peace in Chicago and conveying the message that the city is so much more than its violent reputation.

Several well-known Chicagoans signed the shirts, including some at CBS 2. This week, Smith, now a University of Missouri, graduate, got a big boost. 

Former first lady Michelle Obama signed Raven's t-shirt. The Obama Foundation released a video calling Raven "inspiring."
