The flame analogy is so apt...

[@ingrid8994]

She is so generous ❤😊

[@AllThingsSoul]

She is one of the best dressed women to ever be called First Lady. This outfit.....the color and the color of her nails! She is absolutely beautiful! I'm so proud of her and Barack for the example they set for the Black community and for the world.

[@joannaluca8495]

@@sheritacotten5293 bless your heart 😂

[@virginiavillalba6425]

Set an example !? Are you kidding !??👇🧟🐍

[@arlenehayles1892]

She is so positive and an excellent communicator about people feelings.

[@meganblasco2]

Love the thought “greet them with your gladness”

[@michaeld.williamsiii9026]

She’s one of the absolute best, I still have her first book and haven’t had the chance to dive into it yet. Now another book of hers I’ll have to add to my never ending collection, the encouragement and inspiration Mrs. Obama gives and offers is so very appreciated.💜

[@annsettles224]

Her 1st book was absolutely inspirational.

[@gigigirma7636]

Such a brilliantly insightful woman of American leadership. Such a pleasure seeing her in the public eye again. Can’t wait to read her next book.

John 8:12 “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” 🙏🏾❤️ ‭‭

[@sergeantmasson3669]

Ssc368, Moochelle didn't write the first one. I wonder who wrote the 2nd book?

[@368chen]

It was only a best seller with millions of books sold

[@BenNgo]

Jenna & Michelle sitting on the same sofa. It's extremely rare in the world that a talkshow host knows exactly what their talkshow guest went through during the White House years.

[@dianswikert268]

I am so glad u read ur audio book BECOMING.......please read this book on audio

[@oocarpa]

From my soul to her soul... thank you!🙏💙

[@valedakeys1661]

Nobody can make you feel bad if you already feel good about yourself. " Michelle Obama Dad"

[@sheritacotten5293]

well said unfortunately that is for people that have a low esteem and no community to build them out of depression

[@DrNancyLivingCoCreatively]

Community and faith. 💙

[@indranihassan4513]

She is absolutely a role model❤

[@rhythmatwork9619]

The excitement I felt knowing Michelle Obama had written a new book is likened to the feeling of a kid in a candy store. She’s elegant, poised, and yet so down to earth. I’ve pre-ordered my copy of the book. Have you?

[@corbinsmith2877]

Yes pre-ordered my book 📚

[@marymoore5776]

Love Michelle Obama

[@denvergirl2645]

So right. Nobody can act and dress the part more than Big Mike. He truly is a treasure.

[@Sbannmarie]

As a back woman, she can wear that color - beautifully compliments her skin tone. (I look horrible in yellows and greens- African folks shine!)

[@allisonlaroche626]

She should run for office

[@rosalynw.otieno1994]

I would die of happiness if she did, but it’s probably not going to happen.

[@lindaallen9141]

Michelle Obama!! Such a classy and beautiful person!♥️💕💕

[@dzenawo]

Hearing voices telling her she is not good enough

[@terrywalker2437]

Love the color. Love the structure of the jacket. But the bell bottoms are too playful. It's like board room on top. Disco on the bottom. :)

[@dw3675]

Maybe that’s what she wanted since a talk show is not too formal

[@katrinaevans7588]

I agree. Pants should have been straight legged. She looked stunning, still!

[@earlmcgee9351]

Next POTUS!

[@marcob5149]

Boy she looks amazing

[@shafiabegamsb860]

A, waiting

[@dzenawo]

Your secrets are in good Hand baby Hahaha
