Since Michelle Obama has left the White House she is still very much in the media limelight. In an interview with People, she shared the reason she has been choosing braids more often becuase of practicality. She said, \u201cWhen I am out of the public eye, I am swimming, I am playing tennis, I work out, I like to be active. I don\u2019t want to have to have a stylist with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former First Lady has build a brand out of her name with the books shes written, the podcasts and interviews she has done.<\/p>\n

She is also mother to two daughters she shared with her husband\u00a0Barack Obama. Her daughters are Malia Obama and Sasha Obama, who have both since moved out independently.<\/p>\n

The couple are now empty nesters, with Michelle opening up about this, she said date night look different now, \u201cWe\u2019ve been married 32, 33 (years). When we\u2019re both happy about date night, we\u2019re at home. We are not getting dressed. We just have a nice dinner, candles lit, music, we talk.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also talked about her choice of longer braids, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s freedom. Braids allow me to get them done, and then that\u2019s one less thing that I have to think about.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI understood the significance of wearing braids to our portrait unveiling. I wanted to send a message, add to the discourse of Black women in places of power, saying, \u2018This, too, is an appropriate and beautiful way to wear your\u00a0hair,\u201d the former First Lady said.<\/p>\n
