Barack and Michelle Obama Will Help Teach Civics Lessons to Kids in New Animated Netflix Series We the People.
By Naledi Ushe
Obama's participation comes after a busy year — but no in-person appearances — for the former first lady, 57.
She spoke to PEOPLE earlier this year about how the pandemic changed things for her, former President Barack Obama and their daughters, Malia, 22, and Sasha, 19.
The Obamas all isolated together — splitting time between the family's homes in Washington, D.C., and Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts — while Malia, a recent Harvard University grad, and Sasha, a sophomore at hte University of Michigan, attended classes online.
"These have been challenging times. Many people have struggled: jobs lost, people going hungry," Mrs. Obama told PEOPLE. "We've learned to count our blessings, the importance of health and family."
Even while working remotely, she has been busy.
In March, her kids' cooking series, Waffles + Mochi, premiered on Netflix. The show sees the former first lady in an unexpected role, starring alongside puppets and guest chefs who teach kids to prepare healthy foods.
