Michelle Obama Announces Release of New Memoir

Michelle Obama took to Instagram to announce the release date for her new memoir.

The former FLOTUS opened up on Instagram about her new memoir, Becoming, saying that writing this book “has been a deeply personal experience.” This is the first memoir written by Obama and it chronicles her time as a young girl living on the south side of Chicago to eventually becoming the first woman of the United States.

Writing BECOMING has been a deeply personal experience. It has allowed me, for the very first time, the space to honestly reflect on the unexpected trajectory of my life. In this book, I talk about my roots and how a little girl from the South Side of Chicago found her voice and developed the strength to use it to empower others. I hope my journey inspires readers to find the courage to become whoever they aspire to be. I can’t wait to share my story. Please visit the website in my bio for more information.
