And I think because I was so overcome by the fact that I felt jet lagged, I then for a moment forgot that I was about to be in the same room as the Michelle Obama.
And I literally had goosebumps.
I was like, I can't believe that I'm going to be like, you know, however many meters from Michelle Obama.
She was fantastic.
Now, I loved her book Becoming.
She actually has released another book recently.
It's got light in the title.
I should know the name.
The Light We Carry.
That book has come out more recently.
I want to read it.
I haven't read it yet, but it will be another book that I put on my pile of 25 books that I thought I could read postpartum.
I've only read one.
True, true.
Anyway, now, she's had an amazing life story and something that Michelle often brings up in her talks and when she goes on podcasts or whatever it might be is – and she actually says why because it's very important that she shows people what they can achieve –
she says with hard work and determination is, and believing in yourself, is she did not come from a privileged upbringing.
Like she grew up in a very lower class family.
And the fact that, and so did her husband, Barack Obama, who obviously became the President of the United States, which is just incredible.
