«I never thought about the next elections, but I continue to work for the next generations. The investments that individual countries make for the education of girls are, in my opinion, the yardstick of the level of development and quality of life. Women are the lifeblood of every community and every family. If we don’t invest in their education, ensure they have the right knowledge to bring healthy children into the world and ensure that they, too, get an education, we will miss the opportunity to raise about half a country’s population.
We can’t afford it, we already have too many problems in this world ».
Thus begins the journalist’s exclusive interview Rula Jebreal a Michelle Obama for Vanity Fair Italia. The former American First Lady talks about herself on the occasion of the launch of Waffles + Mochi, a TV series aimed at children of which she is the protagonist and which was produced for Netflix by the Obama production company, Higher Ground Productions, on the theme of healthy eating.
Food is not just nourishment, for Michelle Obama it is a purely political issue: in fact, one of the parameters of a country’s development is “the quality of the food we serve in our communities, the ability of families to have access and to try healthy and new foods, in order to raise our children with the strength and tools necessary to realize their dreams and then come back and support the others“. According to the former First Lady, feeding the little ones should therefore be a priority: “At the heart of the strength of a community is the health of its children which starts with what they eat, how food is prepared and how they are used to tasting new things.».
Michelle Obama also tells a glimpse of her family life during the lockdown, with her daughters Malia and Sasha who “they have become two excellent pastry chefs, they prepare sweets, cakes, muffins… It was fun to watch them experiment new things, make mistakes and then improve by preparing the same recipes, over and over again. I really appreciate their ability to explore and it was nice to see that they are able to feed themselves as well. My daughters are now 22 and 19 years old; the eldest, Malia, has just graduated and will soon be going to live alone. Now I see the fruits of my investments: two young women who are curious and who love to experiment and love to discover new things when I travel“. There is no doubt about his favorite dish: “Macaroni and cheese, a nice pan full of cheese! As a child I loved her. We didn’t eat it often, but when it was on the table, it was definitely my favorite dish and still is today».
