Michelle spoke with with her friends Kelly Dibble, Denielle Pemberton-Heard, and Dr. Sharon Malone in the new episode of 'The Michelle Obama Podcast'
The 56-year-old said that black people often 'don't exist' to white people, 'and when we do exist, we exist as a threat. And that — that’s exhausting'
As First Lady, she said, she'd go out for incognito walks and strangers would pet her dog without looking at her
While getting ice cream with Sasha and Malia, a white woman cut them and then didn't apologize when she was called out
The women also talked about racism and the 'pain, frustration, just fatigue with being black in America'
In a previous episode, Obama admitted to suffering 'low grade depression,' adding: 'Spiritually, these are not fulfilling times'
