Michelle revealed that at this stage of her life, she has been at every powerful table be it kings or queens and even attended the GE Summit; what she observed is that all the “people are same”.
“Everybody is carrying around their fear, their fighting for to be seen or heard,” said the writer of The Light We Carry.
She went on to explain, “I have seen the country and everybody is fighting for the same thing.”
“Probably not praying to the same God,” but in the end, we are just trying to live a decent life and raise our kids, “stated the 59-year-old.
Michelle pointed out that she “connects with people” on an internal basis.
“I don’t let the outward appearance get in the way what inside of that person,” she added.
During the conversation, Drew revealed that she never saw from other person’s perspective.
Michelle however mentioned that it’s important to think from other person in order to show each other “compassion”.
Moreover, Michelle opened up what her parents taught her when back in the day someone said a racial slur against her.
Michelle revealed that she won’t judge that person, rather focused on fixing a problem that led that individual to say hateful words.
It’s important to “spin the time and ease the burden for one another, people would have room not to hate and see themselves in one another”.
