The Light Podcast is presented by Starbucks and Intuit.

It is such a joy to be with you here tonight for this occasion.

This is a joy. I'm going to tell you an interesting thing from my perspective. I've played a lot of theaters.

I'm used to, I go someplace and everyone's excited to see me. Okay?

Everybody in the crowds there because they wanted to see me.

This is thanks to people. Oh, my parents are here. That's great.

This is different. This is one time, one time occasion where nobody's here to see me.

And I could not be happier about that.

I was getting my makeup done. They put some makeup on me because I'm the whitest man in America.

And it's not a good thing. And they're putting makeup on me.

And the woman said, what do you think? And I said, no one's going to be looking at me tonight.

And I was very happy to be right. I am thrilled and honored to be a part of this tonight for this incredible book,

which really spoke to me the light we carry and who better to talk to about this book than the esteemed author.

Let's get around here. Ladies and gentlemen, Michelle Obama!

I'm a virgin and I'm a bitch. I'm invincible. I'm invincible.

Woo!

Conan, I am happy to see you.

Thank you. Okay. That's count. We're up to three people right now.

Hey, everyone. This is Michelle Obama and welcome to the Light Podcast.

No matter how young or how old we are, there's probably something that leaves us feeling like we're out of place.

Maybe it's the color of our skin or the shape of our nose. Maybe it's the accent we speak with or the way we worship.

Maybe you're a strong, wild black girl who towers above her classmates. Like me when I was in high school.
