I truly appreciate the way Michelle talks about the world and shares real experience and real words. If more people were kind and honest and classy, the world would be such a better place. She makes the listener feel worthy. We live in a world that doesn’t do that very often. Thank you, Mrs. Obama.

Loved listening to all the conversations and learning a little about each individual. So refreshingly different from the rubbish printed in cheap tabloids and social media. Also enjoyed the tools that were shared to help young people navigate their way through life.
