Michelle Obama's Dream Job? Being Beyonce Knowles

Michelle Obama revealed her dream job and surprisingly it includes taking over the fabulous life of singer Beyonce Knowles.

“I’d be Beyonce,’ she says. ‘I’d be some great singer… It looks like musicians just have the most fun.” Something tells us Bey wouldn’t mind being the first lady if only for one day.

The first lady also talks about her and the President staying connected with daily rituals amidst their busy schedules while promoting her new book “American Grown,” detailing the White House Kitchen Garden. The First Lady goes on to say that they don’t bother with specific times; instead the pair has rituals that are played out every day.

“We have a ritual where he tucks me in, because I’m usually in bed before anybody. He’ll come and turn the lights out and give me a kiss and we’ll talk. He’s like, “Ready to be tucked?” I’m like, “Yes I am,”‘ the mother-of-two told People.

Because President Obama has a tall order of running the country, the FLOTUS adds that every opportunity is seized to gain quality time together, such as walking the family dog, Bo.

“We live above the store, which means 6.30pm is dinner,’ Mrs. Obama says. ‘The first half hour, we’re talking to the girls, then we shoo them off to go walk Bo and catch a little check-in without the kids.”

While the stylish First Lady understands she will be photographed, perhaps at inopportune times, she dreads ever being snapped in a swimsuit.

“That’s been my one goal: I don’t want to be caught dead in a bathing suit,” she says.

The say-it-like you-mean-it lawyer admits that working out competitively isn’t a way the couple spend their down time anymore because the POTUS can’t hang. LOL!

“Not anymore, because I’m in way better shape than he is….We don’t take ourselves too seriously. At the gym we’re spending a lot more time laughing about who is trying to get out of doing their push-ups, who’s whining too much.”

 

 

 

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
