World - Nearly a year after kicking off a rock star-style
book tour that sold out stadiums across the country, former first
lady Michelle Obama has announced the publication of her second book.
But instead of focusing on her own unique journey, this time Obama
will ask her readers and supporters to reflect on themselves.
Titled "Becoming: A Guided Journal for Discovering Your Voice,"
Obama's book will be released on November 19.
It is published by
Clarkson Potter, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
The book will feature an introduction written by Obama along with
more than 150 questions and quotes that aim to compel readers to fill
in answers about themselves.
The journal is meant to be a companion to Obama's bestselling memoir
"Becoming" and will cost 19.99 dollars in the United States.
Obama's second book was announced on Monday morning and comes nearly a
year after she released her memoir.
Becoming was released on November 13, 2018, and sold more than 11.5 million
units across print, digital and audio formats.
In her memoir, Obama wrote about growing up in South Shore, her
family, her experiences attending elite universities and how she
eventually met the man who became the first African American
president of the United States.
While she was applauded for writing openly about dating, marital
conflicts, struggling to get pregnant and President Donald Trump, she
was also criticized by some for not aggressively writing about
enduring racism and systemic inequalities.
