Michelle Obama and Mom grace cover of Essence




Now, Mommy Robinson is being recognized as a key figure in the White House. Marian Shields Robinson, Michelle Obama's mom is sharing the April cover of Essence magazine with daughter, Michelle. They both look stunning and show that the Mom keeps herself up and supports her daughter and son in law, President Barack H. Obama. Mrs. Robinson, now 72 , retired from her job as a bank secretary to assist Michelle and Barack with the girls while he was on the campaign trail. She has since moved into the White House to help get the girls settled but, will be moving back into her own home some time in the future.


Robinson, now a widow, married Michelle and Craig's father, Frasier Robinson in 1960. She is the first live-in grandmother in the White House since Elivera Doud, in the Eisenhower administration. She has been dubbed, "the First Granny."
