2022 Becoming Her: For Becoming The best Version of Yourself

Product Information

For the most part, the Michelle Obama you've seen at public appearances, on television shows, and in photos, is the Michelle Obama you get in Becoming. Shortly after graduating with her MA, she met and married her husband Tre Watson and they welcomed their first son in January 2022. This one is important because I believe how we act and show up attracts more of what we want to experience. For the next nine years she had a thick peanut butter sandwich every morning for breakfast and never ate an egg again.

I explore what it’s been like to navigate making those shifts and how my mind responds to unfamiliar environments. She talks of her desire to make an impact as First Lady while at the same time ensuring her daughters' lives were as "normal" as they could possibly be, and the successes, frustrations, and disappointments she experienced. I am also excited to chat to influential guests from around the world and hear their personal stories of how they reinvented themselves in their life, inspiring you to never settle and to always show up for yourself FIRST. There was a motto Barack and I tried to live by, and I offered it that night from the stage: When they go low, we go high.

In this memoir, she reflects on what her life was like as she was raised on the South Side of Chicago and her roots in her working class family. It’s important to remind yourself each day that showing up to your commitments is a sign of self-respect.

You may think that it’s no big deal to have the thoughts you are having, however, I truly believe the small increments of change we make each day are what add up to make a big difference in our life. To say I “detransitioned” eliminates the mental aspect, which I believe is the most integral component. Since I've had the right to vote, two presidents have energized and excited me—Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. I generally respect Michelle Obama and her accomplishments but there are a few things that bother me about her and this book.I didn’t think I could admire and respect former First Lady Michelle Obama any more than I already did.
