Here’s the special’s official synopsis, courtesy of Netflix:
On the final stop of the tour for her 2022 bestseller The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times, Michelle Obama unpacks her toolbox. In a wide-ranging conversation with good friend Oprah Winfrey, the former First Lady shares personal family stories about her childhood and time in the White House, offers hard won wisdom about self-confidence, fear, and aging, and gives practical advice for living in modern times, including the power of a kitchen table full of friends. Covering everything from menopause to social issues to romance, Obama and Winfrey have a candid, at times poignant, at times comedic but always real conversation about the moment in which we are living. The Light We Carry: Michelle Obama & Oprah Winfrey is a Netflix Special in association with Higher Ground Productions & Jesse Collins Entertainment.
Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannáe Rouzan-Clay serve as executive producers on “The Light We Carry: Michelle Obama & Oprah Winfrey.” The special debuts on Netflix on April 25. Take a look at the trailer below.
