Michelle said: “It was the biggest privilege of my life to serve as this nation’s first lady, and I will continue the work to be a person of service, to try to work to make sure my life means something to somebody else.

It was Michelle’s turn when Oprah visited the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn.
During the talk, Michelle said: “Marriage is hard, and raising a family together is a hard thing, it takes a toll.
“But if you’re with the person, if you know why you’re with them, you understand that there is a friendship and a foundation there.
“That may feel like it goes away during some of those hard times, but it’s something that we always come back to.
