Becoming
By: Michelle Obama
Published: November 13, 2018
An inspiring autobiography by the former First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama. I was eager to get this book which is major since I don’t read a lot of autobiographies. This one came from the voice of Mrs. Obama in a way that felt like she was telling a story I could imagine, as if watching on a movie screen. The voice is real, doesn’t hold back, but also demonstrated maturity even as a youth growing up in the South side of Chicago where the community was changing as resident moved out to the suburbs. Her voice is one that can inspire young people to reach beyond their current circumstances and learn when it’s okay to change course.
When reading how Mrs. Obama became an attorney, gained all the “things” but still felt unfulfilled, this spoke to me. Attaining a degree and career ultimately means nothing if not completely satisfied. Mrs. Obama understood this especially after losing loved ones, and meeting “Barry,” former President Barack Obama.
Highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn more about this lady’s past and where she is today. Her book inspires anyone regardless of gender, race, or religious background. Excellent book for all readers.
Rating: 5/5
