I was particularly moved by @michelleobama’s honest & sensitive observations abt her extended & connected family of grandparents great aunts, uncles who are part of her world. Each in their own way navigating the reality of the limitations imposed on them by racial inequality.
Likewise the college experience of those of us who entered elite colleges that were so culturally unfamiliar to us (Michelle’s priceless response to someone saying they “rowed crew”). I never heard the term “WASP” before arriving at Vassar. We had to learn to navigate the new.
The challenges of early marriage, of finding your way professionally, of communicating effectively in a marriage. There’s so much in #Becoming
This is not a campaign memoir or traditional “First Lady” memoir. I know ppl will come for the WH stories but this rich memoir is so much more. #IAmBecoming
