Becoming by Michelle Obama
Star Rating: ★★★★★
Regardless of political party, I always love learning about First Ladies. It's my favorite point of view of someone walking alongside history.
So, naturally, as our nation's first Black First Lady, I was very interested in reading her story. And she does not hold back. She openly discusses how hard it is to be with her husband, someone whose energy level and ethics are so high, when she feels so human. I also enjoyed reading about her conscious decision to allow her career to take a backseat to her husband's (been there). The story is all so relatable for ambitious women who work their way up and out.
I wish more people who maybe didn't vote for this family could read the stories with an open mind. Because, at the end of the day, this is a story about humanity, sacrifice, and love.
