Michelle Obama Boeken

In een leven vol betekenis en successen heeft Michelle Obama zich ontwikkeld tot een van de meest iconische en overtuigende vrouwen van dit tijdperk. Als first lady van de Verenigde Staten - de eerste Afro-Amerikaanse in die rol - maakte ze het Witte Huis tot het meest gastvrije en warme in de geschiedenis, terwijl ze zichzelf ontplooide tot krachtig pleitbezorger voor vrouwen en meisjes in Amerika en wereldwijd. Ze veranderde de manier waarop gezinnen een gezonder en actiever leven nastreven en stond haar man bij terwijl hij Amerika door enkele van de meest aangrijpende gebeurtenissen leidde. Ondertussen liet ze ons een paar danspasjes zien, maakte ze een verpletterende indruk tijdens de Carpool Karaoke, en voedde ze twee down-to-earth dochters op onder het oog van de meedogenloze media. In haar betoverende en diep reflecterende memoires nodigt Michelle Obama haar lezers uit in haar wereld, door ervaringen die haar hebben gevormd vast te leggen - van haar jeugd in het zuiden van Chicago tot haar jaren als bestuurder, balancerend tussen de eisen van het moederschap en werk, tot haar tijd op 's werelds beroemdste adres. Met onfeilbare eerlijkheid en levendige humor beschrijft ze haar triomfen en tegenslagen, zowel publiek als privé, en vertelt ze haar verhaal zoals zij het beleefd heeft - in haar eigen woorden en op haar eigen voorwaarden. Warm, wijs en onthullend is Mijn verhaal - Becoming een ongewoon intieme bespiegeling van een vrouw met kennis en bezieling die voortdurend en glansrijk beproevingen doorstond - en wiens verhaal ons inspireert om hetzelfde te doen.

Michelle Robinson was born on the South Side of Chicago. From her modest beginnings, she would become Michelle Obama, the inspiring and powerful First Lady of the United States, when her husband, Barack Obama, was elected the forty-fourth president. They would be the first Black First Family in the White House and serve the country for two terms. Growing up, Michelle and her older brother, Craig, shared a bedroom in their family’s upstairs apartment in her great-aunt’s house. Her parents, Fraser and Marian, poured their love and energy into their children. Michelle’s beloved dad taught his kids to work hard, keep their word, and remember to laugh. Her mom showed them how to think for themselves, use their voice, and be unafraid. But life soon took her far from home. With determination, carefully made plans, and the desire to achieve, Michelle was eager to expand the sphere of her life from her schooling in Chicago. She went to Princeton University, where she learned what it felt like to be the only Black woman in the room. She then went to Harvard Law School, and after graduating returned to Chicago and became a high-powered lawyer. Her plans changed, however, when she met and fell in love with Barack Obama.
