The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times by Michelle Obama

5.0

A great read or listen for anyone who may be processing different experiences that may have changed their life. Michelle brings up her childhood, her parents, her romantic relationship, and her very own personal relationship with herself. I think the latter is most important here. The title connects her to her audience with the togetherness that it brings, and that reigns true within the book. My favorite topic from the book is the critical self (the internal voice that lives in us all) because Michelle explains her journey to a working relationship with that inner voice how she came to peace with its existence. Overall a very inspiring book and it definitely helped me feel less alone in my daily experiences as a young woman of color.
