In Becoming Her, is a movement where women of all ages are continuously evolving into the version of themselves that God has called them to be. It is not subject to one area of life but all areas. In Becoming Her, we transparently dive into breaking generational curses, stopping repeated toxic cycles and practicing self awareness, which is the conscious knowledge of one’s own character, feelings, motives and desires. There is no race nor finish line In Becoming Her. It is an imperfect yet beautiful marathon that we will embark on together. Just as the discerning look at the viciousness of American politics will enrage you and make you question the leaders we’ve elected to power, so will Michelle Obama’s experience with the other side of her First Lady journey, the experience with the purity of spirit of genuinely good people—no matter their political affiliations, nationality or socio-economic status—move you.

She's a fabulous mother to her daughters, a fabulous wife and friend to her husband, a fabulous daughter to her parents. She told people she wanted to become a pediatrician when she was a kid because she loved being around kids and it was a pleasing answer to adults. She describes this later as always doing the correct thing.Pg. 120, “Now that I was at Sidley and on the other side of the recruiting experience, my goal was to bring in law students who were not just smart and hard-driving but also something other than male and white.” I get it, you want to make the place more diverse. Sure. But the way she said “other than make and white” got a lot under my skin (remember I’m not white).
