My Physical Appearance Was Heavily Scrutinized As First Lady – Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama has recalled her physical appearance being scrutinized when she was first lady. She recently had her say during the latest episode of Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, rather than talk about her education and professional career during her tenure as first lady from 2008 to 2016, the media constantly decided to focus on whatever she was wearing.

Michelle added that it was very strange to see how her shoes became the most important thing about her.

Her words, “The top of the article would be she was wearing, not my education, not my professional career, but it started with appearance.

It was clear that, oh, my God, you don’t know anything about what I did before I came here.

I mean, I practiced law. I was an assistant to the mayor in Chicago. I ran a nonprofit. That quickly. my shoes become the most important thing about me. We have to think a lot more, to strike that balance and to be thoughtful about what messages we’re sending, giving, receiving.

When you get the power, when you’re the boss, when you’re running your own thing, let’s just not become female versions of the thing that was broken. Are you building the world that you told your little girl existed?”

Ona potential presidential run, “There are men out there that were not gonna vote for a woman. Let’s just be real about it, and let’s put that on the table and talk about, well, what’s that about? Let’s not be mad because I made the statement.”

WOW.
