Former US first lady Michelle Obama has finally put the presidency rumours to rest.
As first lady from 2009 to 2017, Obama made a name for herself through initiatives for women, healthy families, higher education and international adolescent girls’ education, and remained a popular and outspoken figure even after her husband’s presidency ended.
In fact, despite there being plenty of vocal support for a Michelle Obama presidency, she admitted that she “detests” being asked the question, stating: “I’m not going to run.” Instead, she said, it was important to have leadership that “reflects the direction that we want to go in as a people” and that made the general public “feel seen”.Michelle and Barack Obama Netflix
Obama said the electoral decision “still hurts”, and in her “darkest moment” she does question if her husband“When I’m in my darkest moment … my most irrational place, I could say, well, maybe [it didn’t matter]. Maybe we weren’t good enough,” she admitted. “But then I look around when there is more clarity … and think more rationally, I think well … today there’s a whole world of young people who are thinking differently about themselves because of the work that we’ve done.
