Michelle Obama also dedicated a special Instagram post to her mother Marian Shields Robinson. The former US first lady wrote, “Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! My mom has always been my rock and I’m so grateful for all the ways she continues to show up for my family. She’s taught me so much over the years, and I feel so lucky that I get to pass that same wisdom down to my own girls. To all the moms celebrating today, I hope you know how much you’re appreciated.”

Michelle Obama has often spoken about how her parents, who dropped out of college, raised her and her brother Craig Robinson in the best way possible, despite having financial precarity. In 2022, she told Chicago’s ABC 7, “We were poor. We lived in a small house, but what they gave us was a feeling of importance, a belief that our voices mattered at a very young age, a sense of understanding, of pushing through resilience.”
