Michelle Obama and mum to feature in Mother’s Day issue of Essence
April 6th, 2009

Washington, April 6 (ANI): U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson, will feature with her in the May issue of Essence magazine.

Marian joined her daughter for a joint interview and cover shoot for the U.S. Mother’s Day issue of the magazine.

The interview was conducted in Michelle’s East Wing Office at about a month after the inauguration.

The mother-daughter duo discussed family, life in the White House, and the importance of good role models.

Marian, 71, said her role model was her daughter.

“Michelle has always been Michelle. And she has always accomplished whatever it was she set out to accomplish,” Politico.com quoted Robinson as saying in the interview, which is not yet posted online.

“I have always looked up to Michelle because she has been able to do things that I couldn’t do emotionally, psychologically or physically. I think she is amazing,” she said.

Michelle was also all praise for her mother.

“She made me who I am,” said the First Lady.
