For the first time, the former first lady spoke publicly about deeply personal issues, including her past fertility and marital struggles, her profound anger at President Donald Trump, and the bigotry and hate she encountered on the campaign trail. She also revealed what she calls a “painful secret” — that she didn’t believe her husband could be elected president. And through it all, this star student who went to Princeton and Harvard, then became a successful lawyer and executive while raising two young children, then went on to become the first lady of the United States, says she was always asking herself — “Am I good enough?” “Being the first black anything is gonna be hard,” she told Robin Roberts. “I knew, as the first black first lady, I couldn’t presume anything … I’d have to earn my grace.” Chuck Kennedy for ABC Former first lady Michelle Obama speaks to ABC News’ Robin Roberts for a prime-time ABC special on her memoir, “Becoming.” Watch Michelle Obama’s live interview with Robin Roberts Tuesday morning on “Good Morning America,” the day her memoir “Becoming” is released.
