âPeople always ask me, âWhy is it that youâre so authentic?â âHow is it that people connect to you?â And I think it starts because I like me. I like my story and all the bumps and bruises. Thatâs what makes me uniquely me. So Iâve always been open with my staff, with young people, with my friends. And the other thing, Oprah: I know that whether we like it or not, Barack and I are role modelsâ.
Michelle Obama for Elle Magazine (2018)
