First Lady Michelle Obama's mother, Marian Robinson, appears alongside her daughter on the cover of the May issue of Essence magazine. Robinson, who has moved into the White House with the first family, sat for an interview in the first lady's East Wing Office a month after the inauguration.

The mother and daughter discuss family and life at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the interview.

"Michelle has always been Michelle,'' Robinson says. "And she has always accomplished whatever it was she set out to accomplish.''

"She made me who I am,'' Obama says of her mother.

Mrs. O's mother is very pretty, I had never seen a picture of her up close.
