During an in-depth conversation with Oprah, former first lady Michelle Obama explains why she decided to share her deeply personal story so candidly in her upcoming memoir,
Becoming. "I don't want young people to look at me here and now, as Michelle Obama, and think, 'Well, she never had it rough. She never had challenges; she never had fears,'" she says.
