LEGENDARY.

Michelle’s book is my current read- I am loving it! Magnificent is the word! Ariel, this interview was amazing.

This video came at such a good time! I just switched into fine art from astrophysics a couple weeks ago and I'm excited!

This is so cool Ariel! Great questions! Magnificent is the perfect description of her.

So proud to be one of your viewers and subscribers, Ariel, and to be a part of this amazing moment! Congrats gal! Xx

I just broke down in tears just seeing this in my sub box! Ariel, you're doing the damn thing!! I've had her book next to my bed ready to be devoured. I am even more excited now. Thanks for bringing new conversations to the bookish realm.

Great job! Thank you for this video, I guess 'swerving' is a topic that's very much on my mind at the moment, so I'll probably pick up the book after seeing this! X

This is amazing. I totally needed this right now. Thank you so much. 😊💖

Amazing! Do great to think that the support your dad gave you to swerve into a more book-oriented career helped get you to a point where you INTERVIEWED MICHELLE OBAMA!

I think you've found your calling because this was an excellent interview. You ask great questions and bring out a lot in the people you interview and make them feel comfortable.

Hello from France! I found your channel during this Christmas time and I love it but this video is just amazing. I'm a big fan of Michelle Obama and I love her book ! Your conversation was so interesting and you did this interview so well ! Thank you! And congratulations!

This is sooo Awesome both MichelleObama and Ariel are amazing role models for us all!! Thank you both!!

Absolutely nailed it, Ariel. You total legend! Thank you for such a totally lovely conversation ❤️

I've watched all of these Michelle Obama BookTube videos! It's so inspiring to me to see BookTube getting this kind of support and exposure. I literally discovered and started BookTube the other month and was amazed i'd missed it for so long. Now there will be so many more people who will discover this awesome community and hopefully also be encourage to start and give it a go themselves!

Amazing, doing the community proud as always

So so brilliant. Love this conversation, too.

THANK YOU!

Ahhh Ariel 1) this is so cool but 2) you talking about your degree choices was so real for me. I feel like I have two paths, one that’s me going into the ‘smart’ degree that isn’t what I’m naturally gifted in but I like the idea of being in that field. And one that is the topic I am naturally good at and passionate about, but has less job options I like the idea of and isn’t as respected of a degree. It’s hard knowing what to follow, especially when you grow up as that ‘gifted kid’ who is also lower class and never shake the feeling of needing to be seen as smart and successful to have worth. Idk what my point is but what you said was helpful to me as I haven’t seen it talked about in a way I related to so much before. (Also if anyone cares the degrees I’m talking about are medicine vs psychology.)

ariel you don’t know how much i need this. thank you ❤️

OHMYGOD ARIEL THIS IS SO COOL!!! GREAT INTERVIEW!

Arielle you are an amazing host and interviewer!!

The interview is so perfect omg. One of my faves with Michelle Obama!!

Very, very cool. Will buy her book now instead of waiting for my library to get it (in germany).

OMG ARIEL!!! 😮😮 this is amazing.

aHHHH this is so great! You're both so composed and so warm and enthusiastic! Well done. You'll remember this forever :)

You did such a good job and were so real with her! Congratulations 💚

What an absolutely thoughtful interview. That was wonderful. Thank you. -Jessica

How am I just seeing this now?! Absolutely amazing composure with Michelle! I saw the Netflix documentary but this interview inspired me to buy the book. Thank you for this great video and great question for FLOTUS!

Omg this interview was so good! You look so comfortable and attentive. You could totally be a host/interviewer professionally

Ariel you were MAGNIFICENT! Excellent interview 💙

Holy Poops Ariel! What a great opportunity! So happy you had the chance to chat with her!

Such an amazing video. I'm from China, and I've never been abroad. But what you discussed there has nonetheless resonated with me. Didn't really plan to read the book actually. But now I so do!

This was amazing!!!

HOLY CRAP ARIEL!!! Congratulations my darling, you did such a fantastic interview with many great questions and you looked very calm!

Thank you for posting this. I am in love with this video! Michelle Obama is POWERFUL.

Oh my goodness, this is so amazing. How incredible that you got to sit down with her and talk about this. I really enjoyed hearing you guys talk about this idea of swerving and the importance of finding a community that supports you. Thank you so much!

I relate to this topic so so much. I was dead set upon leaving university that I would get an editorial job in publishing in London but when I kept getting years of knock backs I had to re-evaluate and change course.

This was fantastic! What an incredible opportunity.

YES YES YES YES ARIEL!!! OMGGGGGG!!!! Your achievement here feels like my own. I'm smiling a very big smile!!!

Seeing this for the first time! Wow! I love that it was like a real conversation. You didn't just ask a couple of questions and clam up. You shared bits of your life that were relevant to the topic and it felt like a lovely exchange between two people, instead of just the typical formal interview she surely got tons of. I love her more and more all the time.

You did such a great job Ariel!
