  • Even Michelle has some insecurities. I just love that she shares her fears too. We all have struggles.
  • Any woman who is taking the stage to try to provide the human species a source of positive inspiration, influence to improve the world, the earth, the environment, human relationships, for the Good, receives a 👏.
  • @aglayapiano
    I absolutely love this woman. What a role model! What a human❤❤❤
  • I can listen to her all day such a wise lady . Love this.... keep inspiring the world
  • @debim8329
    I read Becoming. It was inspiring. The takeaway? Education. It matters. I wish I had this book when I dropped out of college. I would not have. Big mistake. I am getting the new book tomorrow. Cannot wait to read it! Thank you Mrs. O for helping us navigate.
  • @nancys.5968
    Great interview. I love how honest she is - everyone has insecurities and she's right about the constant messages we receive. If everyone was this authentic and compassionate we probably wouldn't have half the problems we have in the world today. Can't wait to read the new book!
  • Brilliant and inspiring! Thanks, Michelle, for all you do for America and humanity.
  • I could listen to her all day; She’s incredibly insightful, engaging, wise.. so much fun, yet serious.. In a world full of pretentious cookie cutter phonies, copycats, manufactured personalities...she stands apart as the rare authentic public figure.. grounded, genuine, consistent..
  • Thank you Mrs. Obama💃🏽💗🙏🏽⭐️ I need to hear that. I will be getting your book. My mother was one of your biggest fan. She pass away from Covid in 2020😢
  • @Boomer2304
    I've always related to Mrs. Obama because she never plays games. She is 'integrity '. Vulnerable and strong at the same time.
  • So many folk have been and continue to be inspired by Michelle Obama. Not a fake word or action pops out of her.
  • I love me some Michelle Obama.Such an inspirational woman.
  • @chachan.m2421
    I'm happy to learn that I'm not the only one who struggles with fear and doubt. Hearing it come from Michelle Obama hits different of course 😅 The great news is: we can constantly grow and learn to overcome these negative impulses. In the end, we gotta be our own most passionate cheerleader for true success
  • @Claudia-ek9ev
    Well Michelle, look no further for ways to help. This short video has helped me so much already to begin to believe in myself. I'll start your new book tonight. Thank you. If Michelle (who is a brand) has fears and doubts then I'm ok. Like her, I'll overcome them too.
  • Michelle is an amazing woman. Full of Grace, and wisdom. I love how she shares her stories. Quite Inspiring. I can't wait to read the Book.
  • I tap into this woman’s blessing. You are a great inspiration 🙏
