While Mrs. Obama was the First Lady, I had to think of everything and consider each possible scenario. I knew her bag had to be different—because as the United States of America’s first Black First Lady, part of my job was to help her deal with the nation’s baggage around the notion of what she and her family were supposed to represent. So I filled it with 3 different kinds of lotion: A lighter one for her feet, so that they wouldn’t slip and slide in her heels, a thicker one for her body, and an ultra-thick one for those ankles, knees and elbows, all in an attempt to prevent any possible ashiness. There would be no lack of moisture on my watch. I also carried hair spray for the flyaways and an edge brush, just in case, for smoothing down fine hair near the temples or around the hairline. (This was probably the first time that a First Lady ever had to be concerned about laying edges.)
Of course, there was also a pair of flats.(snip) Imagine the pain of walking in heels for extended periods of time, and then multiply that by 100.
My bag also included straws because we know the value of a “good lip,” and a lint roller. I added bra clips and double stick tape to avoid any attire mishaps,(snip)
To this day, even assisting Mrs. Obama post-White House, I’m still equipped with a first aid kit, stain removers, deodorant, a sponge to remove deodorant, oil blotting sheets, cough drops, and extra earring backs.
