Inspiring, relaxed, motivating, funny. Michelle Obama, former First Lady, was all of these things and more during her recent visit to Toronto where she spoke to a sold out crowd at the Mattamy Athletic Centre at Ryerson University.

RBC was there, talking to some of the 1000+ young people in attendance, about what the former first lady — and her powerful message of equality and change — meant to them and their generation.
