Becoming by Michelle Obama

emotional informative inspiring slow-paced

5.0

I have always admired and adored Michelle Robinson Obama from afar. This book, however, got me feeling very close and cocooned in her light! 🥹 She is strengthened by her truth and the messages of bravery and hope throughout this book made me cry and laugh ❤️
‘Sameness breeds more sameness, until you make a thoughtful effort to counteract it.’
and ‘Becoming is never giving up on the idea that there’s more growing to be done.’ became two of my favourite quotes, although I wouldn’t quote me on that one as I could open the book and give you a different answer every time 😂

I loved how she was unafraid to include everything, from her dad’s MS to her feelings about Trump. I gasped at her candour and appreciated her so much more for it 👏🏼
Truly a fan of this book (and the author!) ✨ Would highly recommend ✨
