The post title says it all. I love Michelle. World’s #1 stan. Although that might be a hotly contended title. Her second book, The Light We Carry, changes direction from Becoming. This is much less of a memoir and more candid advice from America’s favorite mom on how to get through life. Because it’s not all sunshine and roses, and sometimes we need some time-tested tactics to help get by. I really resonated with much of what Michelle talks about; being an only, having imposter syndrome, dealing with a fearful mind, and code-switching in different settings (this is not a comprehensive list). She’s relatable, down-to-earth, and grounded, and her tips and frameworks are practical and can be used by anyone. I’d highly recommend this book and actually liked it so much that I bought it in hardcopy after I finished on my Kindle so that I can refer to it later in life.
