Michelle Obama Worries About “Who We Want To Be As A Country” In Live ‘IMO’ Podcast At SXSW


The first significant public appearance by former First Lady Michelle Obama since Trump was elected back to office came with high expectations today.

However, as much the savvy ex-First Lady and her former Brown University basketball coach Robinson focused on “some of the lessons we learned growing up,” advice from their father about how to face adversity, and personal interactions over the years, the specter of Trump 2.0 was never truly that far from mind.

Tyler Perry, Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach, Elaine Welteroth, Tracee Ellis Ross, Angie Martinez, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union, Logan Ury and Brian Chesky will also be on the first season of the podcast
