MICHELLE OBAMA: “I felt lost and alone.”

⭐️Former First Lady, Michelle Obama, has been in the news lately about her new book. So many people, particularly women, admire and love Mrs. Obama so whenever she’s interviewed, her comments become headline news. She recently told Robin Roberts, Good Morning America’s co-anchor, that she felt lost and alone during a period of her life when she miscarried her and former President Barack Obama’s child.  Not many of us knew that she endured a miscarriage.  

Mrs. Obama’s miscarriage is only one of “the reveals” in her new book, Becoming.  In her book, she discusses suffering the infertility treatments that helped her conceive daughters Malia and Sasha.  Her book is a memoir and entails much about her personal life. She doesn’t hold back; instead, she shows how strong yet ‘human’ she is even more.  Her goal is to help others “go through” and win! Are we surprised?  That’s just who Michelle Robinson Obama is. 

During her interview, Mrs. Obama said growing up in her neighborhood, "you could get your butt kicked going to school if you looked too uppity or if you were studying too hard."

"My parents, from a very early age, encouraged us to put our opinions on the table, to ask questions, to question the context of situations. They encouraged us to understand the context," she said. "You could speak your mind, but you had to be respectful, you know? And if you got outta hand, you got a look. You'd get a spanking... they weren't free wheeling parents. They were still black parents. But they believed in teaching us to think for ourselves."  Her parents, Fraser and Marian Robinson, helped her build a sense of self, emphasizing education and excellence.  Mrs. Obama has one sibling, her brother Craig Malcom Robinson.
