Michelle Obama’s advice for coping in Trump’s America: ‘All we have is hope’
Tuesday, February 6, 2018
February 6, 2018 - Former First Lady Michelle Obama sat down with Ellen DeGeneres for her first TV interview since she left the White House and reminded us all why we miss her so much. In the interview, DeGeneres asked Obama how people could deal with the “very scary” world under President Donald Trump. The former First Lady admitted that there were many people who were scared, but other people don’t see their fears. “People are afraid,” she said. “But then there are people who feel good about the direction of the country. So that’s what makes this country complicated, because it’s made up of so many different people from different backgrounds. We are this mosh pit of society and sometimes there’s a rub.” “But the thing that we have to remember, the thing I learned in the eight years that I was in the White House, was that what we do every day in our lives, the good things that we do every day — and we know we do it — we show empathy, we care for each other. We do have a lot in common,” she said. “That’s what it means to lead with hope and not fear. And that’s all we have, is hope.” Visit www.thegrio.com for full article.
