Description
This narration explores the themes of identity, resilience, love, grief, service, and voice through the life story Michelle Obama shares in her memoir. It begins with the simple but lifelong question—“Who am I?”—and follows the slow, steady work of becoming: learning where we come from, what we value, and how we want to show up in the world.
Along the way, we meet the influences that shaped her—family devotion, community pride, the challenge of elite spaces, the grounding force of mature partnership, and the clarifying pain of loss. The story ultimately points toward a life oriented around values rather than appearances, and around using one’s platform—large or small—to lift others up.
Who Should Listen
