Our former First Lady is in the house this month. Ahead of Michelle Obama’s March 16 talk at Playhouse Square’s State Theatre and in honor of her new tell-all book Becoming, we highlight three of our favorite Obama moments from 2018.
Voting Record
On Sept. 28, while speaking at a University of Miami voting rally, Obama voiced concern for the current political climate. “I am tired of the daily chaos, the pettiness, the meanness that too often dominates the political discourse,” she said. Still, she vows to change that discourse by getting voters to the polls.
Squad Goals
During a one-hour special of The Ellen DeGeneres Show Nov. 15, Obama answered questions in the hot seat and confirmed what many of us already know: when asked what her husband does the best, she said, “Everything.”
City Slickers
During an onstage interview at Barclays Center with Sarah Jessica Parker, Obama dropped the mic on her last book tour stop Dec. 20 by rocking $4,000 glittering gold sequin thigh-high Balenciaga heels. Work it girl.
