Becoming

In a life rich with meaning and achievement, Michelle Obama stands out as one of the most iconic women of our time. As the first African-American First Lady of the United States, she transformed the White House into a welcoming and inclusive space while advocating for women and girls globally. Her initiatives encouraged families to lead healthier, more active lives, and she supported her husband during challenging times. Through moments of levity, such as sharing dance moves and participating in Carpool Karaoke, she also navigated the complexities of raising two daughters under intense media scrutiny. In her memoir, she offers a deeply reflective and captivating narrative, sharing the experiences that shaped her—from her South Side Chicago childhood to her executive career, and her time at the world’s most famous address. With honesty and humor, she recounts both her successes and setbacks, presenting her story in her own voice and on her own terms. Warm, insightful, and revealing, this memoir is a personal exploration of a woman who has consistently defied expectations, inspiring others to do the same.
