#Book 1: Becoming from Michelle Obama

  • Type: Biography
  • Title: Becoming
  • Author: Michelle Obama

I really enjoyed the bio! Michelle starts by describing her life as a kid in Chicago until she meets Barack at a firm in the city. A big part of the book is also dedicated to the  election process, as well as her major contributions to the campaigns, and the key roles she took as first lady.

She talks about the media and the attacks she received but my favorite part remains her childhood and the hope she gives to children who come from underprivileged areas.

Major points:

  • Learn about the politics in the USA,
  • The food business in the USA and Michelle’s effort to control obesity in the country, limiting sugar and salt at schools, and
  • Best lesson: looking for what makes you happy rather than checking boxes

Hope you guys enjoy this type of post.
