A Live Conversation on Beauty, Culture & Confidence with Tracee Ellis Ross and Michelle Obama
A candid, emotional, and often hilarious live conversation between Michelle Obama and Tracee Ellis Ross, filmed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM). Together, they explore the stories behind Michelle’s new book The Look, diving into the personal history, cultural meaning, and intimate moments behind the styles that shaped her life.
From childhood memories and coming-of-age fashion rules… to navigating beauty standards, hair journeys, Hollywood realities, and the pressure of showing up in the public eye — this conversation is rich with wisdom, laughter, and deep reflection.
