LOS ANGELES -- Lilly Singh and First Lady Michelle Obama share a passion for encouraging higher education.

But they also share a love for Heads Up!

In a new video, the YouTuber, FLOTUS and two students from Howard University play a new "reach higher" edition of Heads Up! in which all the topics are related to education.

Singh and Obama also discuss the importance of higher education. And, in the spirit of Singh's #GirlLove initiative -- which focuses on breaking the cycle of girl-on-girl hate -- the first lady is asked to share compliments about other women including Dr. Jill Biden.
