Hello, I am Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama, born on January 17, 1964. I am an American attorney and author who had the honor of serving as the first lady of the United States from 2009 to 2017. I am married to former President Barack Obama, and together we have two daughters. My journey has taken me from the South Side of Chicago to Princeton University and Harvard Law School, shaping my career in law, public service, and advocacy for important causes.
