Obama and her husband, former President Barack Obama, last year reached a joint agreement with Penguin Random House for their memoirs. The deal is believed to be worth over US$65 million.

The memoir presents to readers stories of the first black First Lady from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years in the White House
.
“Writing Becoming has been a deeply personal experience,” the former first lady said in a statement. “It has allowed me, for the very first time, the space to honestly reflect on the unexpected trajectory of my life.
In this book, I talk about my roots and how a little girl from the South Side of Chicago found her voice and developed the strength to use it to empower others.

I hope my journey inspires readers to find the courage to become whoever they aspire to be. I can’t wait to share my story.”

Michelle Obama’s ‘Becoming’ has a large impact on young people and is an inspiration to young girls, women everywhere. SGGP
