“As a mom, I know it is my responsibility, and no one else's, to raise ...” — Michelle Obama Quote

“As a mom, I know it is my responsibility, and no one else's, to raise my kids. But we have to ask ourselves, what does it mean when so many parents are finding their best efforts undermined by an avalanche of advertisements aimed at our kids.”

“I am so tired of fear. And I don't want my girls to live in a country, in a world, based on fear.”

“I am an example of what is possible when girls from the very beginning of their lives are loved and nurtured by people around them. I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life who taught me about quiet strength and dignity.”

“Of all the roles I've played, none has been as fulfilling as being a mother.”

“My whole life, people have doubted me. My mom did. People told me in high school I'm too short and not fast enough to play basketball. They didn't know my story. Because if they did, they'd know that anything is possible.”

“What motivated me? My mother. My mother was an immigrant woman, a peasant woman, struggled all her life, worked in the garment center.”
