Tons of wisdom from Michelle Obama’s life as daughter, wife, mother, First Lady, friend, and a Black woman. Tackles Racism 101, inclusivity, parenting, class, power, voice, self, identity, viciousness, and so more, coming back to her speech way back when she first said to the crowds, “When they go low, we go high.”
