Occupying an enviable position such as FLOTUS of the United States doesn't only earn respect from people who likes you but also attracts folks who wouldn't see nothing good but bad.
Michelle, the wife of the 44th President of the United States Barack Obama, reflected on what really "cut the deepest" of her during her husband's terms at the White House.
Speaking at the 30th anniversary of the Women’s Foundation of Colorado in Denver on Tuesday, she mentioned what hurt her deepest during the terms and how she managed to get on before  8,500  audience.
During an interview, she was asked by the event's host and President/CEO of the Women's Foundation of Colorado Lauren Y. Casteel, what shard cut her deepest considering the fact that being the first Black First lady of the United States of like breaking the ceiling.

"The shards that cut me the deepest were the ones that intended to cut. Knowing that after eight years of working really hard for this country, there are still people who won’t see me for what I am because of my skin colour,” she said referring to times she being jealously mocking for her bottom and another was comparing her to an ape.
She encouraged the audience especially women not to be scared of being cut deep as she maintained there are a lot good about the country as against what could be perceived wrong.
"The people in this country are universally good and kind and honest and decent,” she said. “Don’t be afraid of the country you live in. The folks here are good," she concluded.
