Michelle Obama spoke exclusively with ABC7 ahead of her final Chicago Theatre show promoting her new book, 'The Light We Carry.'
The former first lady also spoke directly to young people about overcoming fear, becoming "comfortably afraid" and lessons she learned right here in Chicago from her parents, Fraser and Marian Robinson.
"We were poor," Obama said. "We lived in a small house, but what they have us was a feeling of importance, a belief that our voices mattered at a very young age, a sense of understanding, of pushing through resilience. Not of this had to do with money, but it's been the foundation for everything I've been able to do in my life."
Obama's final Chicago show discussing her New York Times best-selling, "The Light We Carry," takes place at the Chicago Theatre at 8 p.m.Copyright © 2022 WLS-TV. All Rights Reserved.
