Michelle Obama Shares Childhood & College Photos With Curls And Braids

May 23, 2018 by Seymone Brutus

The beautiful Michelle Obama keeps on inspiring us with photos of her past and sharing her family upbringing, her first-time college experience, and how it shaped her life.

I love her beautiful childhood photo in pretty pastel pink among her parents whom she matches her mother in the same color, endearing look and hairstyle.

Their classic curls look like a soft rollerset, acheived with the pink and orange soft sponge rollers. How many of you remember those?

During the summer months, I used to watch my grandmother every night, roll up her shortcut and tie up her hair with a satin scarf. Guess what, I found some! If you love soft curls check them out!

Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing some photos and memories from my book, BECOMING. My father, Fraser, taught me to work hard, laugh often, and keep my word. My mother, Marian, showed me how to think for myself and to use my voice. Together, in our cramped apartment on the South Side of Chicago, my family helped me see the value in our story, in my story, and in the larger story of our country.

This is me at Princeton in the early 1980s. I know that being a first-generation college student can be scary, because it was scary for me. I was black and from a working-class neighborhood in Chicago, while Princeton’s student body was generally white and well-to-do. I’d never stood out in a crowd or a classroom because of the color of my skin before. But I found close friends and a mentor who gave me the confidence to be myself. Going to college is hard work, but every day I meet people whose lives have been profoundly changed by education, just as mine was. My advice to students is to be brave and stay with it. Congratulations to the Class of 2018! #ReachHigher

It’s impossible for any picture to truly capture what my mother, Marian, has meant to me. Happy #MothersDay to all of the moms out there, and especially to my own.
