becoming by Michelle Obama. I'm proud of this book truly because of what it means to me and hopefully what it will mean to you. I knew from the outset that if I was going to write a memoir, it had to include more than the shade of blue I chose for a china pattern or who was or wasn't invited to a state dinner. Those are parts of my story. Yes. But to be honest, they are very important parts and I had no interest in using a memoir to settle scores or when a few news cycles because I don't care about any of that either. What I do care about what I've always cared about is going deeper to unearth the fullness of our stories blemishes and all I know that I am who I am not because the titles I've held or the celebrities I've met, but because of the snaking paths and winding roads, the frustrations and contradictions, the constant growth that is painful and joyful and full of confusion. So I knew that if this book was going to make any difference at all, it would need to be raw, vulnerable, and unabashedly honest.
