Michelle Obama Talks About Education and Student Loans

We are thrilled to share the first answer in our series with First Lady Michelle Obama. Since we're in back-to-school mode, this week we're focusing on education and women's health. Here's the first lady in her own words:

So, this week, I'll answer some of those — and maybe a couple others as well."
