Michelle Obama Recalls Feeling 'Confined' During Her Days As First Lady
Around the same time she gave her interview on the late-night talk show, the author also reflected on her experience writing her new book on her podcast, IMO, where she opened up a bit more about her experience as First Lady and the pressure that she felt during her time in the White House, especially given she and husband Barack Obama were an extra historical couple.
"Eight-year stint as first lady tends to confine, to be a bit confining, right?" she said. "Because, you know, the role, the job was not to just represent me, but to represent the nation. And as the first Black family in that house, just like, Black folks feel in all the first positions, that we're carrying the torch, we're lighting the way, which means that we've got to do it really, really well so that the next folks will have a chance."
Her notes about discovering herself in the powerful position, dealing with the pressure, and how she evolved during her experience all relate back to the message of her book. On Instagram, she notes that it "captures my belief that style is a language of its own, one that each of us can use to express our individuality and ignite confidence."
