“People are always going to have opinions, and people have a right to their opinions, particularly when you’re the First Lady; you’re representing the nation," says Michelle, mom to Sasha, 8, and 11-year Malia.

"So I can’t be surprised that people are interested. But I’ve tried to be at peace with the choices that I make first, and then be open to everyone else’s reflection.”
