“I think when it comes to Black kids, it means something for them to have spent most of their life seeing the family in the White House look like them,” said First Lady Michelle Obama in an ESSENCE interview. “It matters.”

The two shared their favorite memories from their eight-year stay at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, discussed their plans after completing their final term and mused about the positive effect their rise to power has had on minorities.
