Michelle Obama graces the February 2012 cover of More Magazine.

Excerpts below:

On her nickname FLOTUS: “They call me FLOTUS, for first lady of the United States…And there are many times when FLOTUS and POTUS feel like characters.”

On her mentoring program in the White House: “It’s very personal. I mean, growing up the way that I did — kid from the South Side (of Chicago), going to public schools — the more my career developed, I realized how much I didn’t see, how little exposure I had to opportunities.”
