What We Have Become

This episode talks about the ending of this fantastic memoir, weighing in the pros and cons and themes, as well as personal connections and lessons learned from Michelle Obama’s powerful words.

This episode discusses various aspects of Obama’s first presidential campaign through the perspective of Michelle Obama.

This episode gives further insight and analysis to many of the complicated emotions that Michelle felt during this phase of her life, as well as the politics that are slowly making their way into the story.

Moving past her childhood and into a new world, the portion of this book discussed today delved deep into the struggle that Michelle Obama faced as she plunged into the adult world. (Note: due to the coronavirus, we are figuring out new ways to record but with social distancing so apologies for any distortion or funky noise!)

In our first episode (yay!) we will be discussing some of the interesting things we observed in the first part of the book, as well as making connections to society today.
