Former first lady Michelle Obama spoke on the importance of representation in a clip from an unreleased episode of her podcast, The Light Podcast, released exclusively to InStyle.

During the episode, which officially drops on Tuesday, Obama praised a few role models who regularly challenge the status quo.

"We've got so many role models. We've got Serena [Williams] now out there," she said, shouting out the tennis superstar who announced her retirement in August 2022.

She also reflected on the lack of representation she had as a child, highlighting the importance of figures such as Williams for today's youth.

Litle girls with hair like hers are beating the sh*t out of White and Asian people every single day in malls, stors, schools and streets across America. Just check Twitter, where those videos used to be banned.

She rejects her natural hair and wears weaves and wigs. I don’t want little girls emulating her.
