In a new video from MAKERS published Tuesday afternoon, FLOTUS describes how she’s worked her way from South Side Chicago to the White House. MAKERS is a media platform that empowers women around the world.

In the video, Obama says she didn’t have a lot of money growing up with her brother, mother and father, but from a very early age her parents instilled in her the importance of education.

“We didn’t have a lot of money, but my brother and I were blessed with something far more valuable because our parents truly gave us unconditional love and encouragement to go places they never imagined for themselves,” Obama says.

After FLOTUS met POTUS during her first job at a Chicago law firm, Obama said she felt something missing in her career. “I started to ask myself more important questions like what do I really care about and how do I give something back? I wanted to be in a position to help folks from neighborhoods like mine, especially young people, have the opportunities that I had.”
