Michelle Obama

I want young listeners to focus more on their internal feelings instead of what the world is telling you to feel.

Really start trusting your gut and building that internal gut.

of how you feel about other people, how you feel about yourself.

Because I think in the end, the work is still within.

Like the only thing you really can control is you in this world.

Do the work on self.

Work on being as whole as you can be.

Because you can't control who's going to love you, who's going to like you, who's going to give you a job, who's going to see you the way you want to be seen, because everybody has their own stuff.

And so you can't define yourself by other people's stuff.

Watching this video of Michelle Obama saying that she's mindful to avoid white-owned brands and that we should be too.

And I discovered something really, really interesting.

When I did a deep dive into what clothes Michelle was wearing, because obviously if she's preaching about not buying white, she better not be wearing white, right?

It's just, it looks like this Lorelei skirt in printed green Czech gonzianella that's $1,000.

Well, it's just, it was designed by Amelia Wickstead, who's white, ugh.

Before you go on your privileged hypocritical rampages, just make sure you're not wearing clothes by the white designers that you claim to boycott.

If I hear of someone whose fashion that I like and I know that they're a person of color, I try to make it a point.

But the clothes have to be available.

You know, I think we can all do some work to think about that balance in our wardrobes.

You know, what does our closet look like and who's in it?

Who are we supporting in it?
