First Lady Obama's new project will be centered on self-worth and resilience

Whether it’s through her poignant speeches or candid podcast conversations, former First Lady Michelle Obama has used storytelling as a vessel to foster a sense of interconnectedness and help individuals recognize their shared humanity. The Chicago native is expanding her imprint in the literary world with the release of a new memoir.
