Michelle Obama is a lawyer, a writer – and of course the wife of former President of the United States, Barack Obama. But that doesn't mean she's immune from the anxiety, guilt, and self-consciousness that many feel on a daily basis. In her forthcoming book, “The Light We Carry”, Michelle Obama talks about these feelings, as well as life, role models, not being seen, and how - if she’d made a different decision - the United States might not have had its first black president. For BBC Breakfast and 5 Minutes On, Naga Munchetty met the former First Ladys via a transatlantic link up, to ask her about all of this and more. Image Credit: BBC News
