A Partnership That Started with Mentorship
Their storied relationship began in 1989 at the Sidley Austin law firm in Chicago. Michelle, then an associate, was assigned to serve as Barack’s mentor during his summer internship. What started as a professional relationship blossomed over time, leading to their marriage in 1992. Over the past three decades, they have continuously supported each other through every challenge, both public and private.
