Michelle Obama's Memoir Will Be A 'Re-Humanization Effort'

[sheshe2]

Former First Lady Michelle Obama told the 2018 American Library Association Annual Conference audience, in New Orleans, that her upcoming memoir “Becoming” will be a “re-humanization effort” that shares the “ordinariness of a very extraordinary story” that she hopes will give voice to people who feel voiceless, the Associated Press reports.

“I didn’t come into (being first lady) with a blank slate,” she said. “I had big jobs. I went to Princeton. I went to Harvard. I am a lawyer. But as Barack’s ascent got faster and higher, I had to figure out and balance marriage and balance becoming a spouse. I’ve learned that you can have it all, but not all at the same time.”

Obama, who has always been class personified, has kept a relatively low profile since leaving the White House in January of 2017. Many Americans continue to miss her presence in wake of the Donald Trump show that calls itself a presidential administration. And while Obama was known for being a stylish, classy first lady, Melania Trump is wearing “I really don’t care. Do you?” jackets at the border, where her husband is separating children from their parents.

Michelle Obama was a great one. And now she is gone. Be grateful for what we had, folks.

From the comments:

When this book is released it will unleash a level of ugliness from the Fox News crew and GOP that will make these last few months seem quaint. Their hatred of these two uppity colored people knows no bounds. Let’s be hones that is what bothers wypipo the most. The fact that the world got to see a functioning. loving and successful black family be the face of America to the world and it pretty much caused their brains to explode. The fact that it will outsell all of Donald’s shitty books will probably drive him nuts also.


We went from class to crass (and I am being kind here) in a blink of an eye.
