The ex-first lady tells the BBC about her negative thoughts about her appearance and 'fearful mind'.

Mrs Obama, 58, was in the White House with husband Barack between 2009 and 2017.

"I think we're in a better position, but one of the things I talked about was what it was like growing up, not just as a black woman, but as a tall black woman, before the Serena and Venus [Williams] years, before we had the WNBA [Women's National Basketball Association] and had role models other than gymnasts to look up to.

"I lived through the legacy of too many people, particularly African American people, my grandfathers included, whose lives were constricted by their fear of something different," she explained. "I use that as an example of how so many of us are locked in our sameness, afraid to meet or understand anyone that doesn't look like us, feel like us, agree with us. That keeps our world small and it makes us susceptible to disinformation, conspiracy theories that we are confronted with.

Would she achieve more than her husband after 8 years? Probably.

The Obamas were the last occupiers of the WH with anything other than a vacuum between their ears imo. US presidents are mostly selected puppets whose strings are pulled by those with the most money. 😊🇺🇦✊

She's amazing!

Can understand that. She has a Mirror at home

Who cares..

Bless him…

Yeah like with others. She is a nasty piece of work.

Twice UK journalist of the year, world renowned left wing author and filmmaker John Pilger. Barack Obama was trained by the CIA to infiltrate and disrupt community groups (in Chicago). A true enemy of the people.

😂😂😂😂😂

Big Mike!

Definitely newsworthy.

Michael

She’s a dude

She’s the coolest

Run, for gods sake Run, hubby can help you.

Michael v Ali .... 50/50 I say fakewoman

Good for you bro

True, always, but health standards are health standards, why body positive is to proliferate obesity and not to treat transexuality?

She should get her good pal George 'the w stands for war criminal' Bush round to paint you a nice portrait.

She’s running….

Don’t be too hard on yourself Big Mike.

It must be when your husband is responsible for hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq & oversaw torture of detainees at Guantanamo Obama

She should come over to my house and I can slap her around a little bit and then she won't find it so hard to be kind to herself! Just saying! Lol

That’s B’s job.
