Obama writes in the intro of the book, per Variety. “We become bolder in brightness. If you know your light, you know yourself. You know your own story in an honest way. One engaged community can ignite those around it. This is the power of the light we carry.”

Since she released “Becoming”, including “An uprising” and a “Rising tide of hate, bigotry, and intolerance.”
