In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America—the first African American to serve in that role—she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare.
 
In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her—from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world’s most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it—in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations—and whose story inspires us to do the same.

Michelle Obama is absolutely everything I hope to one day become.

This book is captivating and to be able to hear her voice as she tells her story is miraculous (*this is my very first audiobook). First Lady Obama speaks with such elegance. I have the hardcopy coming from Barnes and Noble and honestly everyone on my Christmas list this year, will be receiving a copy of this book. Powerful. Spectacular. Relatable. Brilliant. Thank you, First Lady Obama, thank you for showing me what a leader who exudes class looks like.

Real & Empowering

Thank you Mrs. Obama for sharing your life with us. I love, love, love this audiobook because you opened the door and allowed us to understand your journey and get to truly know you. This is so empowering and I’m 54. I can’t wait to talk about this book over Thanksgiving dinner with my 27 and 30 year old daughters. You have empowered young woman everywhere. Thanks for keeping it real.

Great book! A must read!

Potential readers/listeners - please don’t take the reviews of the angry, triggered conservatives and Trump supporters seriously. It really takes some unbelievable amount of self hate (yep, SELF hate) to come on here and try to bring Michelle’s work down with a measly audiobook review. Please just stop this desperate madness and hate. She doesn’t care, you look dumb, move on!

This is a wonderful book and it’s so awesome to see it be read by Michelle herself. So proud of her for putting her story out there for us all to read/hear. Not only as the past FLOTUS, but as a woman of color as well. Speaking HER truth and HER story. An inspiration to all of us, still. And forever!

When they go low, we go high ♥️
