Michelle Obama just cannot stop complaining about how hard her life is.
The multi-millionaire former First Lady has lamented that people know her only for being married to Barack Obama.
She made the comments during an appearance on the feminist Call Me Daddy podcast.
Ehe explained:
People would be like, “Well, how do you know what to do in this role?” And to me, it was clear that… you don’t know anything about what I did before I came here.
But I was like, well, I went to Princeton and Harvard. I mean, I practiced law. I was an assistant to the mayor in Chicago.
I ran a nonprofit, a 501c3. I was a vice president for community relations at the University of Chicago Hospitals. I was a dean of students.
All of that just disappeared in the course of this whole election, and you now see me as just Barack Obama’s wife.
That quickly my shoes become the most important thing about me… not unique to me, it can happen to the best of us.
So, I shied away from fashion leading the conversation. But I knew I didn’t completely control it.
So, let’s lean in. Let’s lean in with what we do. Let’s make sure that we have a plan and a strategy in place for how fashion, just like everything we did in the White House, would have meaning and impact.
Obama also urged women to carry on with their careers rather than focus on child rearing.
“You don’t have to get off your career track. And I don’t even recommend it,” she said.
“Because kids grow up fast. And then they’re gone. You’ve sacrificed everything. And you know, when they leave, they leave. They close the door and act like you never sacrificed.”
