Njeri Radway (hairstylist and braider), Meredith Koop (stylist and creative consultant), Yene Damtew (hairstylist), and Carl Ray (makeup artist) join Michelle on the couch as she flips from page to page, recalling not only some of the biggest moments of her life, but of many Americans’ lives as well. From her formative years at Princeton to her marriage to Barack, from the victorious moments of his inauguration to her Becoming book tour, watch how Michelle’s style has evolved throughout the years.

This woman does nothing but complain about her oppressed RICH 🤑 life and how bad white people are … as a black woman in here to let her know WE ARE EMBARRASSED by her and wish she would shut the heck up.. better yet go away like every other wife who is longer is in the white house. Insufferable 😩.. she keeps racism going ‼‼‼‼

Her comments about black hair is beyond ridiculous, black women do not straighten their hair for the purpose of pleasing white peoples . This woman is an embarrassment… what other First Lady comes out to speak of such low class topics . She’s ignorant and needs to find a hobby and get out of public view

Sad 😔 to see this once brilliant black woman 👩🏽 look demented and sometimes acting befuddled, when criticizing her own husband. Sad 😔 that it’s showing after their mother died. The Evil 😈 we keep secret 🤐.
