Kids are afraid of what's to come as Donald Trump is preparing to take office, the outgoing First Lady said in an interview Wednesday night. 

Addressing why she became so emotional during her farewell address last week, Obama said it's because she knows "some kids are afraid of what's to come." 

"You know, I really — what I said, I don’t want them to be afraid," Obama said during an appearance on "The Tonight Show." "I want them to embrace the future and know that the world is getting better. We have bumps in the road, we have ups and downs. But I want our kids to, like, move forward. I don’t care where they come from, with strength and with hope."

Michelle Obama also warned Trump against making changes to her school lunch program.
